To achieve and maintain clean core data quality in an SAP S/4HANA Cloud Greenfield project, the focus should be on the following aspects:

Accuracy (B): Ensures that the data in the system is correct and precise, minimizing errors and reducing inconsistencies in master and transactional data. Accurate data is critical for reliable analytics, reporting, and operational efficiency.

Timeliness (D): Ensures that data is current and available when needed. This is vital in a cloud environment where real-time decision-making is essential.

The other options—Stability (A)andEfficiency (C)—while important in broader project considerations, do not directly contribute to clean core data quality management.
