Data Governance

A single source of truth: where to actually start

Catalogue, lineage and access policy explained without jargon, in the order that makes sense to implement.

The pursuit of a single source of truth usually starts in reverse.

Companies frequently purchase costly data catalog tools expecting data chaos to organize itself. Technology does not create governance; clear rules and agreed ownership do.

Start with the critical path

Do not attempt to catalogue all 5,000 tables across the enterprise. Identify the top 5 KPIs driving board meetings and trace only the tables that feed them.

Document lineage: where the raw data originates, what transformation formulas are applied, and who owns the definition.

Access and accountability

Granting everyone full access creates noise and compliance risks. Structuring role-based access keeps data reliable and secure.
