One domain. Two AI-enabled data products. Three months.
In 90 days, we build two trusted AI-enabled data products with your team and leave you with the capability to build the next ten.
Domain, with named stewards and a leader who owns the outcome.
AI-enabled data products, packaged end to end.
Months, from scope to certified and published.
Two products people use. The capability to build the next ten.
- 01
Two AI-enabled data products
Packaged end to end: definitions, CDEs, quality, semantics, classification, access, and evals.
Answers your people and your AI can act on.
- 02
Your catalog, configured
Discovery, trust, access and AI context set up in the marketplace you already own.
People find and understand what is relevant to them.
- 03
Roles and mechanisms in place
Six roles, a thirty minute monthly forum, a weekly domain session, five mechanisms.
Easy to understand, easy to maintain.
- 04
Stewards who know how to steward
We do not do the reps for you. We run them with you.
Your team knows what good feels like.
- 05
Certified products, scorecard, readout and roadmap
Published with an AI scorecard. Consumers trained. You take ownership.
A second domain starts from a running capability, not from zero.
What makes data AI-ready
Quality rules, lineage, freshness.
Can I believe it?
Definitions, metrics, grain, synonyms, relationships.
What does it mean?
Caveats, known gotchas, decision rules, how people actually use it.
How do I act on this?
Built in the catalog you already own.
We run the Quick Start in Alation or Collibra. Your platform knows what you have, traces where it came from, and puts definitions and policies next to the data. Archetype supplies the roles, rules, and rhythm around it to keep the outcomes reliable.

Four clients, four stacks, one operating model. Where we've done this
It's not about cataloging. It's about building products.
A data product is a trusted, reusable asset built with purpose. The catalog, the roles and the mechanisms get built because the products need them.
AI-enabled data products in three months.
Domain
One domain, two to five teams, named stewards, and a leader who owns the outcome.
Products
Packaged end to end: definitions, CDEs, quality, semantics, classification, access, and evals.
Months
The catalog, the roles and the mechanisms get built because the products need them.
The Quick Start covers one domain end to end: the two products, the catalog configuration they need, and the people and process that keep them trusted. It runs with your team over three months, one 45 minute domain session a week, with Archetype hands-on alongside your stewards. By launch, the products are certified and published, and your team owns the capability.
People own it. Process keeps it running. Technology makes it findable and trusted.
People
Six roles, named and clear. Operations, lean by design.
Process
A monthly forum, a weekly cadence, five mechanisms. Easy to maintain.
Technology
The marketplace, configured. Packaged to be scalable across domains.
Scalable AI product capability.
Scope
Domain and products selected. Roles named. Catalog connected and configured. Standards agreed and questions captured.
Curate
Stewards trained and documenting. Definitions ratified, CDEs profiled, quality rules live, evals tuned. Products assembled in the marketplace.
Launch
Products certified and published with an AI scorecard. Consumers trained, readout and roadmap created. You take ownership.
We don't do the reps for you. We run them with you so your team knows what good feels like.
Your catalog connects the stack. The Archetype Operating Model keeps it trusted.
The catalog sits between your sources and the people and agents who use them. It holds what you have, where it came from, and what it means. Around it, Archetype supplies the roles, rules, and rhythm that keep the answers reliable after we leave.

Adoption KPIs, roadmap.
Read it left to right. Data comes in from your systems, the catalog makes it findable and trusted, and BI, analysts and AI agents consume it from one place. The purple frame is the part most programs skip: the stewardship, standards, enablement and measurement that keep the catalog current once the project ends.
Where we've done this.
Examiner AI on a governed semantic layer, with no PII exposure.
Analyst AI agent live in 6 weeks, recovering 80 hours a month.
Governed metric thread live on Snowflake, deployed as code.
Catalog stood up from scratch, with operating model and charter.
Ready means all eight pass.
A data product is data packaged like a product: it has a named owner, a stated purpose, a quality bar, and one stable place to get it. A product is ready when all eight components pass with confidence. Your program is ready when it's easy to meet the expectations for each one.
Discoverable
Someone who did not build it can find it without asking around.
Self-describing
Purpose, definitions, dictionary and lineage travel with it.
Trustworthy
Quality rules on the CDEs, monitored, failures alerted.
Addressable
One stable surface to connect to. No side doors.
Secure
Classified, access enforced, and the request path documented.
Owned
A business steward and a technical steward, named and accountable.
Contracted
Refresh, freshness and support stated up front.
Answerable
Tested against business questions with a measured accuracy score.
