Data Governance Generator
From chaos to the NorthStar Zone: generate a governance document that balances control with freedom to explore.
Built for: Head of Data, CDO, Data Steward
Most governance documents are either forty pages nobody reads or a one-liner nobody follows. The useful version sits in between: clear rules for the things that must be controlled, explicit freedom for the things that should not be, and an honest reading of where your organisation sits today.
The questionnaire walks through the decisions governance actually requires: ownership, definitions, change control, access, quality. Then it generates a document you can put in front of your team tomorrow.
What you get
A governance document structured around your actual decisions, not a template's
Rules calibrated to your maturity: control where it pays, freedom where it does not
Named ownership patterns and escalation paths
The sections to socialise first, and the ones to park
