Moderate readiness with governance and quality bottlenecks.
"You have data, but governance and access constraints suppress AI value."
01 Dimension Scores
Six dimensions scored for readiness to support AI pilots and scaling.
75
Comprehensive customer, transaction, and operational data across core banking, CRM, and wealth platforms.
45
Inconsistent standards and duplicate records, with missing fields in wealth profiles affecting model reliability.
30
No catalog or metadata ownership model. Quality checks are manual and fragmented by team.
65
Strong baseline controls (SOC 2, encryption, role-based access) but no AI-specific privacy framework.
50
Core APIs exist, but access approvals are slow and cross-departmental visibility remains limited.
40
Traceability is weak, with no automated lineage tracking for schema or pipeline changes.
02 Priority Blockers
Teams do not know what data exists or who owns it. Data scientists spend disproportionate time discovering sources.
Impact: Adds 4-6 weeks to most AI initiatives.
Core banking, CRM, and wealth teams define customer identity differently, introducing model inconsistency.
Impact: Raises model error rates and weakens decision confidence.
Critical personalization use cases are blocked because marketing cannot access relevant sales and transaction data.
Impact: Blocks 3 of 4 shortlisted use cases.
03 Quick Wins
Enable self-service discovery of assets, ownership, and quality status using a managed catalog platform.
Start with high-value fields: required values, duplicate detection, and format validation across CRM + lending.
Define legal/compliance-approved data sharing with masking, logging, and explicit model usage boundaries.
