Insight Ready Platform™ Maturity Model

Analytics Maturity

Ingestion architecture, pipeline standardization, semantic layer completeness, dashboard consistency, AI readiness, and audit-ready lineage. How reliably your data moves from source to governed insight — with full traceability at every transformation.

Governance Maturity

KPI definition consistency, drift detection capability, governance workflow automation, and cross-departmental alignment. How well your organization controls what its data means — and maintains that control as the business evolves.

Most regulated organizations begin here. Data exists across systems, but ingestion is manual, pipelines are undocumented, definitions conflict across departments, and reporting cannot be trusted for critical decisions. Organizations at Level 1 face compounding audit exposure because the controls that regulators require — documented lineage, controlled transformations, enforced definitions — do not yet exist in any systematic form.

Analytics Characteristics

• Manual or ad-hoc ingestion with no standardized pipeline architecture

• No conformed dimensions or reconciled fact tables — data is shaped differently by each system or team

• Inconsistent dashboards across departments — different teams report materially different numbers from the same source data

• No semantic layer — KPI logic is embedded in individual reports and cannot be governed centrally

• No automated data quality monitoring or lineage capture

• AI initiatives are exploratory, disconnected from any governed data foundation, and not safe to operationalize

Governance Characteristics

• KPI definitions vary by team, by system, and by report — no single authoritative definition exists

• High exposure to semantic drift — definitions change informally without detection or documentation

• No centralized KPI registry or definition catalog

• Frequent metric disputes in executive meetings and cross-functional reporting

• No governance workflows, exception tracking, or remediation processes

The organization has established a foundational governed architecture. Pipelines are standardized through a Bronze to Silver to Gold structure, KPI definitions are beginning to be documented in a centralized registry, and executive dashboards are built on consistent metrics. The Foundation Environment — the authoritative, standardized baseline — is operational. Governance is present but not yet automated. Drift is becoming visible, but detection still depends on manual effort.

Analytics Characteristics

• Standardized Bronze to Silver to Gold pipelines deployed for priority data sources — raw ingestion, conformed transformations, and business-ready models in place

• Governed ingestion with documented transformation logic and lineage capture from point of entry

• Foundation Environment operational — conformed dimensions, reconciled fact tables, semantic alignment rules, and AI-ready data structures established

• Initial semantic layer in place with aligned KPI definitions across priority reporting assets

• Executive dashboards built on consistent, documented metrics — agreed upon across departments

• Automated data quality checks active at key pipeline stages

• Early AI use cases operational — forecasting models and anomaly detection deployed inside the client tenant

Governance Characteristics

• KPI definitions documented in an initial registry — version history beginning to be maintained

• Semantic alignment rules established in the Foundation Environment but not yet enforced automatically across all assets

• Early detection of definition inconsistencies — identified manually or reactively through reporting discrepancies

• Semantic drift still occurs but is now visible when it does — the organization can see the problem even if it cannot yet prevent it

• Governance contacts established and sign-off workflows defined

The organization has moved from reactive governance to active governance. All three customer-tenant environments — Foundation, Production, and Non-Production — operate under Control Plane governance. Pipelines are fully governed across domains, semantic drift is detected automatically, and governance exceptions are surfaced in real time through the Control Panel. Data can be trusted for operational and strategic decision-making. AI models are integrated into workflows on a reliable, governed foundation.

Analytics Characteristics

• Fully governed pipelines deployed across all major data domains — not just priority sources

• Production and Non-Production environments both operate under Control Plane governance — same rules enforced in testing as in production

• Mature semantic layer with version control, change management, and lineage tracked from ingestion through gold layer

• Automated data quality scoring with threshold alerting integrated with the Control Panel

• AI models integrated into operational workflows — forecasting, anomaly detection, and natural-language query running inside the client tenant

• Dashboards consistently aligned to governed, versioned KPI definitions across all departments

Governance Characteristics

• KPI registry fully adopted — all departments aligned to centralized, versioned definitions

• Automated drift detection operational — governance signals sent from client-side scanners to the governance layer without manual intervention

• Governance exceptions surfaced in real time through the Control Panel — RBAC-secured, with change approval workflows and audit log visibility

• Cross-departmental alignment workflows active — exceptions are documented, assigned, and tracked to resolution

• Semantic relationships mapped and monitored — the governance intelligence engine compares definitions across time and across environments

The organization has achieved a fully governed, semantically intelligent analytics environment. The complete platform architecture is operational — Foundation Environment, Production Environment, Non-Production Environment, Control Plane, Control Panel, and governance intelligence layer — all working as a closed-loop, regulator-defensible system. Data is trusted at scale. AI is deployed safely on a governed foundation. Predictive, generative, and agentic AI workloads are supported by data structures that are clean, lineage-tracked, and semantically aligned. The organization focuses on insights, automation, and AI — not infrastructure.

Analytics Characteristics

• Fully standardized, multi-domain pipelines with enterprise-wide coverage — all major data domains governed end to end

• Enterprise semantic layer with full lineage, version history, and audit-ready traceability for every transformation from ingestion through gold layer

• AI-ready data structures operational for LLMs, copilots, and ML models — ingestion through modeling through curation through semantic alignment through governed access

• Predictive and generative AI embedded in operational workflows — forecasting, anomaly detection, and natural-language query all running inside the client Azure tenant

• Continuous platform enhancements delivered through the governance layer — bi-weekly updates with zero-downtime deployment, no client engineering involvement required

• High-trust dashboards and reporting assets that all stakeholders rely on — reporting disputes eliminated

Governance Characteristics

• Continuous semantic drift monitoring — no manual intervention required to detect definition inconsistencies

• Automated remediation recommendations generated by the governance intelligence engine — exceptions are flagged with suggested resolution before they reach production reporting

• KPI alignment enforced across all departments and all reporting assets — the KPI registry is the authoritative, living source of truth

• Governance intelligence integrated into business decision-making — the Control Panel surfaces lineage, version history, governance exceptions, and platform health in a single RBAC-secured interface

• Full governance coverage across both the client environment and the On Point BI governance layer — the closed-loop operating model is complete

ACCELERATION PATH

How Insight Ready Platform™ Accelerates Maturity

Most regulated organizations cannot self-accelerate through these levels at the pace the business requires. Internal builds stall between Level 1 and Level 2 — the pipeline standardization, semantic layer development, governance discipline, and ongoing maintenance required to reach Level 3 and Level 4 independently takes 18 to 24 months and rarely succeeds without dedicated data engineering talent that most organizations cannot staff or retain. Insight Ready Platform™ eliminates this bottleneck by delivering the governed foundation and governance intelligence as a repeatable, subscription-based service — deployed inside the client’s Azure tenant, operated continuously, and evolved through bi-weekly platform updates without requiring client engineering involvement.

SUBSCRIPTION TIERS

Mapping Maturity to Subscription Tiers

The subscription tier structure maps directly to the maturity model. Organizations do not need to reach a specific level before engaging — Insight Ready Platform™ is designed to meet organizations where they are and accelerate them to where they need to be. Both tiers begin with a Phase 1 foundation engagement before transitioning to the fully managed IDPaaS subscription.
