For data and finance leaders
Figures you can trust and trace to their source
Improving data quality and governance means giving each important dataset an owner, an agreed definition and checks that run every time it loads, with lineage that shows where each figure came from. We start with the numbers people argue about most.
01 Sound familiar
Sound familiar?
-
Finance and sales report different revenue totals for the same month, and each team can explain why its own number is right.
-
A dashboard was wrong for weeks before anyone noticed, and nobody could say which load or which source had broken it.
-
When someone asks who owns the customer table, the answer is a shrug and the name of a person who left last year.

Mark where your data governance stands
For each area, choose the stage that best matches how things work today. You will see the next practical step for that area, not a maturity score.
Mark the stage closest to how this works today.
02 A typical situation
What this usually looks like
Say a finance director has just sat through a board meeting where two reports gave different revenue figures, and the data is spread across the ERP, the CRM and a warehouse that grew without owners.
We would start with the few metrics that reach the board: agree their definitions with finance, trace their lineage and add checks that stop a bad load and alert an owner. Wider governance would follow only where it earns its keep.
03 Start
Settle the figure nobody agrees on
Book a call with an engineer. We will ask where the figure comes from and who relies on it, and suggest the first owners and checks to put in place.
