Meridian helps CDOs, Heads of Data, and transformation leaders assess maturity across all 13 DAMA domains, benchmark performance against their sector, and produce a prioritised action plan for the next 90 days.
Every score is derived from structured domain criteria, weighted by your industry vertical, and benchmarked against real sector data. No black boxes, no vague maturity levels — outputs your leadership team can interrogate.
Each of the 13 DAMA domains is assessed against explicit weighted criteria. Scores reflect where your practices actually sit on a 1–5 maturity scale — not where you think they should be.
Your results are benchmarked against organisations in the same vertical. A score of 2.8 in governance means something different in the public sector versus financial services — Meridian shows you both.
Meridian's scoring engine analyses your weakest domains and generates a sequenced action plan — identifying which gaps to close first and what realistic progress looks like within your constraints.
Maturity is rarely constrained by one domain in isolation. Meridian scores all 13 DAMA domains so you can see where governance, architecture, and quality issues are reinforcing each other — and where fixing one unlocks progress across several.
A structured process designed for senior data leaders. Three steps — each with a clear output your team can act on.
A 30-minute diagnostic conversation. We review your context, walk through benchmark data for your sector, and identify your likely top three gaps — so you go into the assessment knowing what to look for.
Work through the 13 DAMA domains using our guided questionnaire, or upload an existing data catalogue. Each domain is scored on a 1–5 scale using criteria weighted for your industry vertical — not a generic average.
A PDF built for executive audiences: domain scores with RAG ratings, a radar chart benchmarked against your sector, narrative analysis of your key risks, and a prioritised 90-day action plan you can present to leadership.
We use benchmark data from your sector to show you where organisations like yours typically have gaps — and what that means for your specific context. You leave with something concrete, regardless of whether you go further.
