PRACTICE · II · DATA & PLATFORM
Foundations, or it doesn’t ship.
Every agent is a thin layer over your data. The question isn’t which model can summarize a support ticket. They all can. The question is whether the customer record the model is summarizing is the right one, owned by the right system, and trustworthy enough to act on. The data foundation is what decides that.
We treat data foundations the way SRE treats availability: a budget, a measurement, and a clear stop condition. Lineage is documented. Quality has a number. Vector and RAG architecture sit on top of a schema you can defend in front of an auditor. Data contracts mean producers know what consumers depend on before a deployment can break it.
The platform underneath gets the same discipline. We modernize what needs modernizing, leave what works alone, and pick the cloud sequence by what the bill looks like at five years, not the sticker price this quarter.
On the platform
Pick a cloud the way you’d pick a building lease. For year five, not for the signing bonus.

What does your data actually let you ship?
Take the Agentic Readiness Assessment to baseline data and platform alongside the other five dimensions. Ten minutes; the prioritized plan tells you which agents your data can actually support today.
