Data Readiness · 5 Domains · CDO Grade
Is your data
actually AI-ready?
Strategy decks and tooling choices are downstream of one thing: whether your data is clean, governed, accessible, and built for models. DataReady gives CDOs and data leads a precise, framework-referenced assessment across five domains - in 25 minutes.

Why DataReady
Deeper than a readiness check.
Purpose-built for data leaders.
Deeper than aiReady
aiReady asks 6 data questions at a strategic level. DataReady asks 38 - covering pipelines, SLAs, lineage, masking, consent, feature stores, and drift monitoring.
CDO-grade precision
References DAMA-DMBOK, ISO 8000, and EU AI Act Article 10 directly. Every gap maps to a specific framework clause and a concrete fix.
Four maturity bands
Foundation, Developing, Advanced, Exemplar. Each with a specific verdict and a clear next move - not a generic score out of 100.
What we measure
Five domains. Weighted by impact.
Data quality carries the highest weight because no amount of infrastructure sophistication recovers from fundamentally bad data. Security and governance are equal partners - AI creates new data flows that must be governed from day one.
25%
Data Quality & Integrity
Completeness, accuracy, profiling, SLAs, deduplication, and lineage - the non-negotiable foundation for every model.
20%
Data Infrastructure & Architecture
Warehouses, pipelines, streaming, observability, and scale. Can your platform serve AI workloads?
20%
Data Governance & Cataloguing
Catalogue, business glossary, stewardship, classification, retention. Can you find, understand, and trust your data?
20%
Data Access, Security & Privacy
RBAC, PII masking, consent trails, encryption, audit logs, DPAs. AI creates new data flows - are they safe?
15%
AI/ML Data Readiness
Feature stores, labelling, training pipelines, drift monitoring, experiment tracking. Built for models, not just reports.
How it works
CDO rigour. Self-serve speed.
01
38 questions, ~25 minutes
Five data domains in precise business language. Designed for CDOs and data leads - no fluff, no generics.
02
Five specialist AI assessors
One assessor per domain runs in parallel. References DAMA-DMBOK, NIST AI RMF, DPDP Act, GDPR, EU AI Act - whichever applies to your context.
03
A score, a band, and a plan
Data readiness score, quality sub-score, infrastructure sub-score, gap register with severity and effort, and a 90-day roadmap in three phases.
Your data maturity band
One score. Four honest bands.
0-39
Foundation
Core data hygiene is missing. Fix quality and lineage before touching models.
40-59
Developing
Partial capability. Systematise governance and close the infrastructure gaps.
60-79
Advanced
Solid estate. Layer AI/ML-specific capability on this foundation.
80-100
Exemplar
Data-first by design. Compound advantage through continuous improvement.
