Metadata and lineage
Three definitions of an active customer is two too many.
Metadata management agrees what your terms and metrics mean, and traces each number back to its source, so finance, sales and your AI give the same answer.
01 / Symptoms
What it looks like.
- Board numbers that differ from operational reports.
- A metric with several definitions.
- Lineage that stops at the warehouse.
- Nobody can say which system a field came from.
02 / What we do
Definitions with owners, not just a glossary.
- A business glossary and metric definitions with owners.
- Lineage for the critical data elements behind key reports.
- Links from definitions to master data and quality rules.
- Data catalog setup and adoption, on the catalog you have or one we help you choose.
- A semantic layer, so reports and AI read governed metrics.
03 / How it connects
Why definitions lean on master data.
A definition only helps if the records behind it are consistent. We connect definitions to the master data and quality rules that make them true.

Questions
We have a data catalog already.
Then the question is whether it's maintained and trusted. We often find catalogs with definitions but no owners.
