# The Data Maturity Pyramid ™

       Five levels between locked-away data and a system you can ask questions of. Most organisations sit near the bottom while asking for the top. This is the map we use to show you where you are, and the shortest route up.

           The model

## You cannot skip a level.

         Each level depends on the one beneath it. Analytics on untrusted data is guesswork. AI on a broken foundation is theatre. Build up, in order.

               L5  AI-driven insights   Can you ask your data questions and act on the answer?

               L4  Data analytics   Can you see what is happening, and why?

               L3  Data integration   Is it in one place and joined up?

               L2  Data quality   Can you trust what you pull?

               L1  Data collection   Can you reach your data at all?

             **Where most sit.** Levels 1 to 2, moving data by hand and arguing about which number is right.

             **Where they want to be.** Level 5, talking to their data. The gap between the two is the work.

### Data analytics

 Stuck: dashboards no one trusts, reporting done by hand.

  We deliver  reporting, visualisation and AutoML, so the numbers explain themselves.

### Data integration

 Stuck: ten tools, ten versions of the truth.

  We deliver  a unified data layer and one source of truth across your systems.

### Data quality

 Stuck: duplicates, gaps and no shared definitions.

  We deliver  diagnostics, validation and observability, so you can trust what you measure.

### Data collection

 Stuck: data locked in SaaS tools, spreadsheets and manual exports.

  We deliver  connectors and ingestion, built on Airbyte. We own the plumbing.

 Connect

           The bet

## Own the plumbing.

         Whoever owns where the data lands and how it gets there owns every layer above it. Two primitives, everything else builds on them.

           **

### Database

           One governed store that every source lands in. The single source of truth the whole business reads from, rather than ten systems each holding a version.

           The foundation

           **

### Connector

           Airbyte-based ingestion from your tools, systems and stores. Managed and monitored by us, running into your database on a schedule you can trust.

           How we take you up

## One ladder, five steps.

         Each step is a defined engagement with a clear start and end. Enter where you are. The assessment tells you where that is.

#### Talk to it

           Natural language over the whole estate, deployed in your environment where regulation demands it.

       The short version

         Connect  all your data.
         Visualise  all your data.
         Talk to  all your data.

       The three lines are levels 3 to 5 of the pyramid, in plain terms. We earn the right to each one by getting the level below it right first.

## Practitioner framework. Independent diagnosis.

         We publish the assessment methodology. The engagement is where the work happens. Score your gaps, then book a diagnostic when you are ready to close them.

           Answer five questions, one per category. You get a maturity score out of 100, your level on the pyramid, and a prioritised list of what to fix first. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere unless you ask for your breakdown by email.

           The questions and the scoring logic are public, so a firm that scores itself at Level 2 already knows what a Level 4 looks like before it ever picks up the phone. We publish the diagnostic. We deliver the build.

- ** **Published methodology.** Questions, scoring rubric and gap logic, available to run and to embed.

- ** **Score yourself.** A maturity level and per-category breakdown in minutes.

- ** **See the gaps.** Your weakest categories named plainly, with the honest next step.

- ** **Go deeper.** Turn the gap into a costed plan with the paid diagnostic.
