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.
