Layer 02 — Data governance

Stop relying on "everyone just knows." Give the data an owner.

A fixed-scope engagement that builds the ownership model, access rules, and quality standards your company needs before the next audit, raise, or hire asks who's actually accountable for the data.

What we build

Three deliverables, handed to your team — not left in a slide deck.

Deliverable 01

Ownership & stewardship model

  • Domain-by-domain data owners named and documented
  • Stewardship responsibilities mapped to roles, not people
  • Escalation path for disputes and definition changes
Deliverable 02

Access, quality & lineage standards

  • Role-based access rules by data sensitivity tier
  • Quality thresholds and monitoring for critical fields
  • Lineage documented from source system to report
Deliverable 03

Governance council setup & handoff

  • Council charter, cadence, and meeting structure
  • Decision rights defined for policy and exceptions
  • Your team trained and running it without us in the room
The engagement

Audit, design, hand off — the same discipline every time.

Stage 1 — Weeks 1–2

Audit

We map current data flows, ownership gaps, and access sprawl, and tell you plainly where the risk sits.

Stage 2 — Weeks 3–6

Design & build

We build the ownership model, access rules, and quality standards directly with your team.

Stage 3 — Weeks 7–8

Hand off

Documentation, training, and a governance council in place — so it keeps running without us.

Who it's for

Companies scaling past the point where trust in the data is assumed.

Series B & later startups
PE portfolio companies
Healthcare & life sciences
Financial services
B2B SaaS scaling past $10M ARR
Manufacturing & logistics
Insurance
Public sector & education
Pricing

Fixed scope, fixed price — no hourly clock.

"Our auditors asked who owned data quality and we didn't have an answer. Now we do, in writing, with a council behind it."

Marcus Ilori
CEO, Alto Health
