The Data Maturity Pyramid

Five levels between locked-away data and a system you can ask questions of. Most organisations sit near the bottom while asking for the top. This is the map we use to show you where you are, and the shortest route up.

The model

You cannot skip a level.

Each level depends on the one beneath it. Analytics on untrusted data is guesswork. AI on a broken foundation is theatre. Build up, in order.

L5AI-driven insightsCan you ask your data questions and act on the answer?
L4Data analyticsCan you see what is happening, and why?
L3Data integrationIs it in one place and joined up?
L2Data qualityCan you trust what you pull?
L1Data collectionCan you reach your data at all?
Where most sit. Levels 1 to 2, moving data by hand and arguing about which number is right.
Where they want to be. Level 5, talking to their data. The gap between the two is the work.
L5

AI-driven insights

Stuck: the ambition, on foundations that will not carry it.

We deliver natural language over your own data, forecasting and decision support, with privacy-preserving deployment where you are regulated.

Talk to it · Eclipse
L4

Data analytics

Stuck: dashboards no one trusts, reporting done by hand.

We deliver reporting, visualisation and AutoML, so the numbers explain themselves.

Visualise · AutoML
L3

Data integration

Stuck: ten tools, ten versions of the truth.

We deliver a unified data layer and one source of truth across your systems.

Integrate · Nexus
L2

Data quality

Stuck: duplicates, gaps and no shared definitions.

We deliver diagnostics, validation and observability, so you can trust what you measure.

Diagnose
L1

Data collection

Stuck: data locked in SaaS tools, spreadsheets and manual exports.

We deliver connectors and ingestion, built on Airbyte. We own the plumbing.

Connect
The bet

Own the plumbing.

Whoever owns where the data lands and how it gets there owns every layer above it. Two primitives, everything else builds on them.

Database

One governed store that every source lands in. The single source of truth the whole business reads from, rather than ten systems each holding a version.

The foundation

Connector

Airbyte-based ingestion from your tools, systems and stores. Managed and monitored by us, running into your database on a schedule you can trust.

The pipes
How we take you up

One ladder, five steps.

Each step is a defined engagement with a clear start and end. Enter where you are. The free assessment tells you where that is.

01

Diagnose

Where you sit on the pyramid, and the gaps that hold you back. Starts with the free scorecard.

Free entry
02

Connect

Ingestion from every source, built on Airbyte. The plumbing everything else runs on.

03

AutoML

Models trained on your own data and tuned to your metrics, without a data-science hire.

04

Visualise

Reporting and dashboards that stakeholders read without a translator.

05

Talk to it

Natural language over the whole estate, deployed in your environment where regulation demands it.

The short version
Connect all your data. Visualise all your data. Talk to all your data.

The three lines are levels 3 to 5 of the pyramid, in plain terms. We earn the right to each one by getting the level below it right first.

AI Readiness Scorecard

Open framework. Free diagnosis.

We open source the assessment itself, not the consulting wrapper. You self-assess, see your gaps, then call us if the gap is worth closing.

Answer five questions, one per category. You get a maturity score out of 100, your level on the pyramid, and a prioritised list of what to fix first. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere unless you ask for your breakdown by email.

The questions and the scoring logic are public, so a firm that self-assesses to a Level 2 already knows what a Level 4 looks like before it ever picks up the phone. Give away the diagnostic. Own the plumbing.

  • Open source. Questions, scoring rubric and gap logic, free to run and to embed.
  • Self-assess. A maturity level and per-category breakdown in minutes.
  • See the gaps. Your weakest categories named plainly, with the honest next step.
  • Then call us. Turn the gap into a costed plan with the paid diagnostic.

Find out where you stand.

Around three minutes to a maturity score you can take to your board. No sales call to see it.
