The Decaf Data platform
A connected catalogue, built around the people who do governance work every day.
The Decaf Data platform is a structured, accessible place to catalogue your data assets, define your terms, establish ownership, and track governance progress across your organisation. It is designed for the data stewards, domain owners, and business analysts who do the work, not for technical specialists.
Seven object types, one connected catalogue.
Everything in the platform is built around a set of core objects. Each object type has its own structure, its own ownership model, and its own connections to the rest of the catalogue.
Glossary Terms
Define what your data means in plain language. Mark critical data elements, capture business definitions, and connect terms to the assets that use them.
Data Assets
Catalogue your databases, files, systems, and screens. Document where data lives and how it flows across your organisation.
Data Elements
Define individual fields and columns, link them to glossary terms, and designate authoritative sources for critical data across your landscape.
Data Products
Catalogue the data products your organisation produces and consumes, with ownership, quality indicators, and connections to underlying assets.
Governance Domains
Organise your data landscape into business domains. Assign stewards and owners, track domain-level coverage, and see where governance is strong or still developing.
Stakeholders
Record the people who own, steward, and use your data. Assign roles at both domain and object level to make accountability clear and visible.
Extensible model
The platform's object model is designed to grow. Additional types are added as the product evolves and client needs develop.
All seven object types live in a single connected catalogue. Every relationship between them is tracked and navigable.
Practical governance work, built into a single place.
The platform is shaped around the work that data teams actually do. A few of the most common uses:
Business glossary
Capture plain-language definitions for the terms that matter most. Connect terms to the data assets and elements that use them, so definitions are never floating free of the data they describe.
Trusted reports
Catalogue your business reports with ownership, delivery status, and governance coverage. Designate reports as trusted when they meet your governance standards.
Critical data elements
Identify the data elements that underpin your most important decisions and reports. Mark them as critical, designate authoritative sources, and track the governance coverage around them.
Inside the platform
A simple, clean platform designed for ease of use by the business.
Data stewards, domain owners, and business analysts all need something they can work with without a technical background. Every screen in the platform is built around clarity and action.

How teams use it
Built around the people who do governance work every day.
Different roles use the platform differently. The design reflects that, giving each person a view of the catalogue that is relevant to what they are responsible for.
Data stewards
Own the detail
Stewards maintain the definitions, descriptions, and connections for the objects in their domain. The platform makes it easy to see what is complete, what needs attention, and what has changed recently.
Domain owners
See the picture
Domain owners see their coverage at a glance. Which assets are governed, which terms are defined, and where the gaps are. Progress is visible without needing to dig into individual records.
Leadership and CDOs
Track the programme
The programme dashboard shows governance coverage across the whole organisation, by domain and by object type. Governance progress becomes something measurable and reportable, not just described.
The bigger picture
The platform is most powerful when it is part of the whole.
You cannot solve data management through a tool alone. But tooling is a big part of the solution. When the Decaf Data platform is combined with the consulting that shapes how it is used and the capability building that gets your team operating it confidently, that is where we see the biggest impact. The tool gives the practice structure. The consulting gives it shape. The training gives it people who can run it.
