Methodology

Right-to-left delivery for faster business value.

Singularity begins with reports, KPIs, and decisions, then works backward to define data products, subject areas, source mappings, and roadmap.

The Core Idea

Start from the decision, not the data.

Business Outcomes
Reports & KPIs
Gold Products
Silver Areas
Bronze Data
Source Systems

Understand the decisions the data must support — first.

Methodology Overview

Eight steps from discovery to AI scale-out.

01

Report and Dashboard Discovery

Collect reports, dashboards, extracts, screenshots, metadata, ownership, frequency, and purpose.

02

KPI Extraction and Prioritization

Extract KPIs, standardize definitions, identify overlaps, and classify by value and decision relevance.

03

Blueprint Alignment

Align demand to Base Intelligence patterns, KPI libraries, capabilities, and AI use cases.

04

Gold / Kimball Product Design

Define Gold products, facts, dimensions, grains, measures, and semantic-ready structures.

05

Silver Subject Area Mapping

Map Gold products to reusable Silver subject areas, entities, definitions, and quality expectations.

06

Source and Bronze Mapping

Identify sources, entities, ingestion patterns, audit expectations, and Bronze traceability.

07

Report Modernization Roadmap

Define which reports to retire, merge, rebuild, automate, or prioritize.

08

AI-Ready Scale-Out

Connect blueprint to AI use cases, semantic search, automation, monitoring, and intelligence capabilities.

Delivery Phases

How an engagement runs.

01

Phase 0 — Alignment & Scope

Confirm objectives, report scope, stakeholders, validation process, and outcomes.

02

Phase 1 — Discovery & Assessment

Analyze reports, dashboards, KPIs, business rules, source references, and pain points.

03

Phase 2 — Blueprint Generation

Generate KPI catalogue, rationalization, Gold blueprint, Silver mapping, and traceability.

04

Phase 3 — Validation & Prioritization

Validate definitions, ownership, mapping, dependencies, and MVP scope.

05

Phase 4 — Delivery Enablement

Prepare implementation-ready design packs for engineering, reporting, governance, and AI teams.

The goal is not to collect data first. The goal is to understand the decisions the data must support.
