For the data layer underneath every agent's output

Data & Semantic Governance

An agent's output is only as trustworthy as the data underneath it. Five gates for the data itself, not what any single agent decides.

Five governance patternsLogic independently verifiedWorks on any platformFor any agent, any industry, any stage

Who this pack is for

A data governance lead, an engineering director bringing a new agent or data feed online, or a risk lead accountable for whether an agent's outputs rest on a data foundation the organisation can actually stand behind.

Governs the data layer, underneath every agent's output

Every agent's output rests on data that has to be defined, traceable, quality-checked, consistently labelled, and access-appropriate before anything built on top of it can be trusted.

What's in the pack

All five gates are built so missing or unclear information blocks the result rather than quietly passing it, each tested against every possible input combination. Every worked example follows the same data foundation, at a retail demand-forecasting agent, through five different points of failure, because in practice these gaps compound on the same feeds rather than appearing in isolation.

Shared Ontology / Data Definition Gate

Confirms an authoritative, owned, shared, and versioned definition exists for a data entity before an agent is granted access to it.

Data Lineage Requirements

Confirms a data feed's origin and full transformation path is tracked and reviewable, not assumed traceable because the pipeline looks orderly.

Shared Vocabulary Enforcement

Confirms the terms describing metrics stay consistent across teams, catching near-identical labels that actually mean different things.

Data Quality Gate

Confirms a defined minimum quality standard exists, the data currently meets it, and it's checked on an ongoing basis, not just once at onboarding.

Data Classification for Agent Access

Confirms an agent's access to a data table is approved for its stated purpose, and matches the table's sensitivity classification. Risk tier never grants access.

What this pack explicitly does not do

Does not assign an agent's risk tier, Agent Tiering / Inherent Risk Classification does that. This pack's Data Classification for Agent Access pattern checks a grant against the agent's approved purpose, not its risk tier. Does not build a data catalogue, lineage platform, glossary tool, quality-monitoring system, or classification scheme, each pattern confirms the right mechanism exists and defines what it should do, it doesn't build the mechanism. Does not adjudicate what a contested data definition or term should mean.
