AI models are commoditizing; data is not. Organizations that systematically inventory and structure their unique data assets build AI advantages competitors can't replicate — but you can't leverage what you haven't catalogued.
What's inside
Inventory template covering data sources, ownership, access patterns, AI-readiness assessment, and flywheel potential. Use it to prioritize the data work that actually moves AI strategy forward.
How to use it
- Start broad, then narrow. Listing everything you have surfaces the patterns that matter.
- Tag categories you didn't expect. The unexpected groupings are usually the strategically interesting ones.
- Refresh quarterly. Inventories drift faster than people expect.
