The Data Value Gap Scorecard
A fast, structured way to see where your organization's data investment is paying off — and where the value is quietly leaking out.
Data activity isn't the same as data value.
Most organizations can point to plenty of dashboards, pipelines, and data hires — but few can say with confidence where that investment is actually converting into business value. The gap between data activity and data value tends to hide in plain sight until a budget review forces the question.
Reporting exists, but decisions still happen on gut feel
Data teams stay busy, but priorities don't map to business outcomes
No shared answer to "what did our data investment actually deliver?"
Eight dimensions, one clear picture.
The Scorecard walks you through eight dimensions of data value and rates each 1–5, so your biggest gap is obvious rather than debated.
Strategic Alignment
Whether data priorities are explicitly tied to stated business goals, or set independently of them.
Decision Coverage
How many of your organization's high-stakes decisions are actually informed by data today.
Infrastructure Readiness
Whether your pipelines and platforms can support the plan you've set, or are quietly the constraint.
Analytics Adoption
How much of what your team builds actually gets opened, trusted, and used.
Value Realization
Whether outcomes get measured back against the original goal, or the project just moves on.
