Fact layer population

Filling the fact layer in

We collect what your organisation knows from documents, systems and people, settle the places where sources disagree, and write each fact down once. Each level is usable as soon as it is done, so your team can start working from it before the next one begins.

What it covers

Population fills in the structure agreed in the blueprint, in the order set by the roadmap. It produces the levels of your fact layer: the foundations, then the depth behind them, then what's true about your customers. Where your sector has its own rules and language, we can start from a sector version.

How we work

We gather from what you already have: PDFs, old pages, your CMS, decks, spreadsheets and the heads of a few senior people. We check each source against the others. Where two disagree, we take the difference to the fact's owner and write down the answer they agree.

Every fact is written in one agreed form, so it reads the same wherever it is used.

What we need from you

Expect this part to be slow in places. Some facts exist only in people's heads, and checking them takes the time of people who have little to spare. We need:

  • The owners named in the blueprint, available to answer questions and approve facts
  • Access to your documents, systems and analytics at the start
  • Someone with the authority to settle disagreements between sources
  • A willingness to retire old versions once the agreed one is written down
