Description

Description of feature

I wonder if we can standardize processes' inputs and outputs so that if a given step is being run optionally the other one will not break as for an example it does not contain row names in row names but in a different column - TBD

Research direction

Start by mapping the pipeline processes and documenting the current input and output shapes, especially where optional steps handle row names or place them in another column. Done means optional processes use compatible standardized inputs and outputs without breaking downstream steps.
