X-ray before surgery.
If your knee hurts, nobody operates before taking an X-ray. Not because surgery is bad, but because until you see what's inside, any operation is a bet. Data works the same way, and almost everyone walks straight into the operating theatre.

The 3-D rule: Data, Definition, Decision-maker.
Every data or AI initiative is tested against three questions: does the data exist? is there a single definition? does anyone have authority over it? An initiative missing any of the three is an orphan and is dropped before a euro is spent.
Data
Does the data exist?
Definition
Is there a single definition?
Decision-maker
Does anyone have authority over it?
Dropping it early doesn't save hours: it saves months.
The Viability Traffic Light.
Every initiative lands in one of three boxes: go today, needs foundations or drop it. With the technical reason for each. The ones that need foundations become a budget line justified with your own data, not with our word.
Go today
The data exists, there's a single definition and someone has authority over it.
Needs foundations
One of the three Ds is missing. We say which, in what order it gets fixed and what it costs.
Drop it
An orphan initiative. Dropped before a euro is spent, with the technical reason in writing.
You come in through an audit. You stay if you see the value.
Entry · 2 weeks
Metrics audit
Ten leadership metrics audited, each with one definition, a business owner and a technical owner. Plus a new view of your business.
Guarantee: if they don't reconcile at the end, we keep going at no cost until they do.
Monthly fee
Fractional CDO
A data committee with leadership, metrics under watch, the 3-D filter before every initiative, vendor reviews and a quarterly roadmap.
You pay for having your data in order, not by the hour.
No AI without the audit first. Until the Traffic Light is on the table, building is betting.
