A 4-week executive assessment to identify governance, quality, lineage, and AI-readiness gaps — delivered as a written, defensible determination in language your leadership, contracting officers, and auditors will each understand.
Federal AI initiatives fail not because the technology is flawed, but because the data that feeds it was never validated, governed, or documented before implementation began. By the time deficiencies surface — through IG findings, cost overruns, or failed deliverables — the contract is signed and hundreds of millions are already obligated.
These are precisely the conditions our Data Readiness Assessment surfaces, documents, and prioritizes for remediation — before a single implementation dollar is obligated.
Target Audiences
DoD components, civilian agencies, and intelligence community organizations navigating AI adoption mandates or preparing for program office oversight reviews.
Prime and sub-contractors requiring formal data governance documentation to support proposal submissions, PWS compliance, or contract deliverable verification.
Healthcare, financial services, and critical infrastructure organizations facing audit requirements or regulatory examination tied to data management practices.
What You Get
Every assessment produces the same five documented outputs — all written, all defensible, all within the fixed 4-week window.
Authoritative catalogue of your data assets, sources, formats, ownership, and custodianship across all systems in scope.
Quantified scoring of accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness across your priority data domains — with findings at the field level.
Point-by-point comparison of your current governance posture against DAMA DMBOK standards, with each gap explicitly documented and risk-rated.
A formal readiness determination (Low / Moderate / High) with the specific data conditions that must be resolved before any AI system can be responsibly deployed.
A sequenced 90-day action plan with effort estimates, ownership assignments, and vendor accountability checkpoints — ready for executive approval.
Everything in writing. Nothing verbal-only.
Every finding is documented and defensible — suitable for executive review, contracting officers, or IG response.
Process
Fixed scope. Fixed timeline. Predictable cost. No open-ended engagements.
Structured stakeholder interviews, system inventory review, and secure access setup. We identify the data domains most consequential to your AI initiative.
Systematic profiling of priority datasets. Each domain scored against defined thresholds for completeness, accuracy, consistency, and timeliness.
End-to-end data flow mapping, lineage gap documentation, and policy comparison against DAMA DMBOK standards. Security alignment reviewed against FISMA and NIST 800-53.
Written AI Readiness Rating delivered with full documentation. Executive briefing conducted. Remediation roadmap handed off and approved by authorized agency representative.
Investment
Engagements are scoped based on mission needs and environment complexity. Contact us to discuss your specific situation — we will provide a clear, fixed-scope proposal before any engagement is formalized.
Get Started
