Keido Data Readiness

AI is only as good as the data underneath it.

Most organisations do not know what data they hold, where it lives, what state it is in or who owns it. Keido Data Readiness answers those questions in four to six weeks and leaves you with clean, structured, documented data that any AI system, Keido’s or anyone else’s, can be built on with confidence.

Why this comes first

Most stalled AI projects stall on the data.

The MIT study behind the GenAI Divide found most enterprise AI investment returns nothing. The usual reason is not the model. It is that the data underneath was fragmented, duplicated, inconsistently labelled or simply not where anyone thought it was.

Fixing that after deployment costs many times what it costs before.

Three stages

Review, clean, map.

  • 01

    Review

    What Keido does

    Inventory every relevant source: records systems, document stores, spreadsheets, databases, archives. Assess each for completeness, consistency, duplication, currency, sensitivity and ownership.

    You receive

    A data inventory and readiness score by source, with the gaps and risks ranked

  • 02

    Clean

    What Keido does

    Deduplicate, standardise formats and fields, repair or flag broken records, resolve conflicting versions, tag sensitive material, and set the rules so it stays clean.

    You receive

    Cleaned datasets with a change log, plus documented rules your team can keep applying

  • 03

    Map

    What Keido does

    Define the structure the AI will use: a taxonomy or schema, the relationships between sources, and the fields that matter for search, evaluation and visualisation. Load it through the Data Pipeline.

    You receive

    A data model, a mapped and indexed corpus, and a first Keido Visual map of what you hold

What you keep

Everything produced stays with you.

  • The inventory
  • The cleaned data
  • The rules
  • The data model
  • The index

There is no lock-in. If you build on Keido’s systems afterwards, they plug straight in. If you build on something else, the work still holds.

Governance and sensitivity

Sensitive material is classified before anything is indexed.

The review stage identifies personal, confidential and restricted data before indexing. Handling follows your policies and the Australian Privacy Principles. The work runs inside your environment; no data leaves it.

How an engagement runs

Six weeks, with a decision point.

  1. Week 1 Scoping with data owners and IT, access arranged
  2. Weeks 2 to 3 Review and readiness report, with a decision point on scope
  3. Weeks 3 to 5 Clean and map
  4. Week 6 Handover, first Visual map, and a recommendation on what to build next
