Service 03 · Data governance
Trust your data, don't just have it exist
Having data isn't enough: you need to know what it means, where it lives, whether it's reliable, and who's accountable for it. Governance puts those rules in writing, so they stop depending on one person's memory.
The challenge
Without clear rules, every piece of data means something different to everyone
Without a catalogue of what data exists, without shared definitions, and without knowing who's responsible for what, any project becomes fragile: everyone interprets the numbers their own way, no one knows if they can trust them, and the real knowledge lives only in the head of whoever built it.
