Capabilities
Five connected capabilities. The buyer is not purchasing MDM software or a marketplace — they are escaping fragmented databases, weak ownership, inconsistent identifiers, manual approvals, data unsafe for AI, no knowledge of prior-date truth, and no trusted path from data to action.
1. Trusted enterprise data foundation
The integrity layer: ingestion, contracts, matching, survivorship, golden records, bitemporal reconstruction, quality, lineage and publication reconciliation.
2. Governed product consumption
The consumption and governance layer: discovery, Trust Labels, ownership, access requests, entitlement packages, persona shelves, and reports, datasets, APIs and event feeds.
3. AI-ready interaction
The intelligence layer: governed analytics, discovery and access assistance, evidence and rationale for stewards, operational summaries, a shared contextual panel, and MCP tools for governed actions.
The demonstrative moment is this layer standing on the first one — asking the system what changed, which source is authoritative, what the company knew at a prior date, and which downstream products are affected.
4. Activation and distribution
The action layer: APIs, open sharing, events, CRM writeback, distribution reconciliation and idempotent publication.
5. Enterprise operating controls
The operating layer: cost controls, quotas, AI policy, role simulation, audit, recovery, preview disclosure, a status register, and CI and deployment evidence.
Open standards at the boundaries
Mainstream, transferable tooling at every boundary, so no business logic binds to a vendor API:
- Kafka protocol — events
- Postgres wire protocol — operational transactions
- Delta as the implementation format, with Iceberg REST as the table interoperability surface
- SQL — warehouse
- MCP — agents
- OpenTelemetry — observability
- Open sharing — external governed distribution
- HTTP/JSON with OpenAPI — governed APIs
Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA is the accessibility floor, operationalised rather than intended: automated accessibility checks run in CI, and no information is conveyed by colour alone. The temporal pair is the standing example — effective time carries a solid line, an Effective label and a calendar glyph; knowledge time carries a dashed line, a Known label and a history glyph.
Design tokens
Design values ship as CSS custom properties, so a client estate can re-theme without a rebuild. This site and the portal read the same token file.
Deployment
Placeholder — supported deployment targets and prerequisites are not stated here yet.
