Is it best to create a function that can addressing consistent flagging of column values? Or make a decision to handle them manually?

*'Suspect' and 'Pass' for consistency is suggested

@hillarymarler did we ever address the flagging consistency with WY/MT? We might need to notify them of this update to their documentation of the WQP/TADA tool they've been working on once this issue has been addressed?

@wokenny13 - we will definitely want to communicate with them as we make updates. Also, with the team that is working on a similar tool for AK.
