Why This Accelerator
Moves the Needle

Before investing in data platforms, governance programmes, or AI initiatives, organisations need an honest baseline — not the assumed position, not the aspirational one. Where does your data capability actually stand today, relative to what your regulatory obligations require and what your commercial ambitions demand?

Our Data Maturity Assessment Framework answers this question in 3–4 weeks — producing a scored profile, a peer benchmark, and a prioritised roadmap that is specific, costed, and actionable. It is the starting point for every CALIGO engagement and the business case foundation for every data investment decision.

The assessment has been run across banking, insurance, and telecom organisations ranging from regional banks to large conglomerates — calibrating the benchmark against what regulated industry organisations of similar size and complexity actually achieve.

Honest Baseline in 3–4 Weeks
A structured, evidence-based assessment — not a self-assessment survey. CALIGO practitioners conduct interviews, review documentation, and test data systems to produce a score you can defend.
Peer Benchmark Included
Your maturity score is benchmarked against regulated industry organisations of similar size — giving leadership a credible external reference point for investment decisions.
Board-Ready Roadmap Output
The roadmap output is structured for executive presentation — initiatives prioritised by impact and effort, with rough effort estimates and logical sequencing across a 12–36 month horizon.
Regulatory Readiness Dimension
A dedicated regulatory readiness dimension assesses your data quality, lineage, ownership, and control environment against BCBS 239, IFRS 9, Solvency II, or local regulatory requirements.
Assessment Dimensions

Eight Dimensions. One Complete Picture.

The framework covers every critical dimension of data capability — from strategy and governance through to technology and regulatory compliance.

Data Strategy
Alignment of data investments with business objectives, executive sponsorship, CDO mandate, and data investment governance.
Ownership & Accountability
Data domain definition, data owner assignment, stewardship operating model, and issue management accountability.
Data Quality
DQ rule coverage, automated vs. manual quality checking, quality scorecard availability, and breach management.
Architecture Maturity
Data platform architecture, integration patterns, scalability, cloud adoption, and technical debt profile.
Lineage & Metadata
End-to-end lineage coverage, automated vs. manual lineage, metadata management tooling, and regulatory audit trail capability.
Data Catalog
Business glossary coverage, catalog tooling adoption, dataset documentation, and search and discovery capability.
Culture & Literacy
Data-driven decision making culture, data literacy across business functions, and training and capability development maturity.
Regulatory Readiness
Data quality and lineage readiness for BCBS 239, IFRS 9, Solvency II, or local regulatory requirements — including attestation capability.
Implementation

From Accelerator
to Production.

The accelerator is the starting point, not a finished product. CALIGO adapts it to your source systems, technology stack, and regulatory requirements — dramatically compressing the design and build phases.

01
Scoping & Stakeholder Mapping
We identify the business units, data domains, and regulatory obligations in scope — and schedule interviews with data owners, technology leaders, and compliance teams.
02
Evidence Gathering
CALIGO practitioners conduct structured interviews, review existing documentation, and test data systems against the 8-dimension framework. 50+ assessment questions per dimension.
03
Scoring & Benchmarking
Each dimension is scored on a 5-level maturity scale. Scores are benchmarked against our regulated industry reference dataset — calibrated to your sector and organisation size.
04
Roadmap Development
Assessment findings are translated into a prioritised roadmap — initiatives sequenced by impact, effort, and dependency, with rough delivery effort estimates per initiative.
05
Executive Presentation
A board-ready output deck is produced — maturity profile, peer benchmark, roadmap, and recommended first steps. Typically presented to CIO, CDO, or Board Risk Committee.
