01

AI Readiness & Strategy

Before investing in AI platforms, agents, copilots, or automation tools, organizations need to understand where they stand. DataKeys evaluates your current systems, data maturity, business workflows, reporting landscape, governance model, talent readiness, and AI opportunities.

We help you answer the questions executives are already asking: Where can AI create measurable value? Which workflows should we automate first? Is our data ready for AI? What risks do we need to control? What should we build, buy, or avoid? What should we do in the next 90 days?

Deliverables

  • AI maturity assessment
  • Data and workflow readiness scorecard
  • AI opportunity backlog
  • Use case prioritization matrix
  • Business value and feasibility scoring
  • Risk and governance gap analysis
  • 90-day AI execution roadmap
  • Executive AI strategy presentation

Best for

Organizations that know AI matters but do not yet have a clear, practical roadmap.

09

Data Trust Command Center

03

AI-Ready Data Foundation

AI cannot scale on untrusted data. If your company has conflicting reports, inconsistent metrics, duplicate customer records, poor master data, unclear ownership, and siloed systems, AI will only amplify the problem.

DataKeys helps organizations build the governed data foundation required for reliable analytics, automation, and AI.

Deliverables

  • Data architecture assessment
  • Source system mapping
  • Data integration roadmap
  • Common data model design
  • Master data strategy
  • Data quality rules and ownership model
  • Trusted KPI layer
  • Lakehouse or warehouse design
  • Single-source-of-truth roadmap

Best for

Organizations with fragmented systems, inconsistent reporting, poor data quality, and no trusted enterprise data layer.

04

Semantic & Knowledge Layer for AI Agents

AI agents need more than access to data. They need business meaning. They need to understand approved definitions, source systems, data relationships, calculation logic, access rules, policies, process context, and which answers are trusted.

DataKeys builds the semantic and knowledge layer that allows AI agents to safely answer questions, retrieve information, and support business workflows.

Deliverables

  • Business glossary and KPI dictionary
  • Semantic model design
  • Data product catalog
  • Trusted source mapping
  • Knowledge graph strategy
  • RAG and vector database architecture
  • Metadata and lineage approach
  • Agent access-control patterns
  • Human-in-the-loop approval design

Questions this solves

Which revenue definition is official?What is the trusted source for customer data?What does “active contract” mean?Which documents are current?What actions require human approval?Which source should an AI agent trust?

05

AI Platforms, Agents & Copilots

DataKeys designs and builds practical AI solutions that connect to enterprise knowledge, workflows, and decision points.

We do not build novelty bots. We build AI systems tied to trusted data, real workflows, and measurable outcomes — secure by design, with governed access, approved knowledge sources, human-in-the-loop controls, and value tracking from day one.

Deliverables

  • Executive intelligence copilots
  • HR and policy assistants
  • Sales enablement agents
  • Customer service agents
  • Operations copilots
  • Contract intelligence agents
  • Data Q&A assistants

02

Workflow Intelligence & AI Automation

Many organizations try to automate broken processes without understanding how work actually gets done. DataKeys maps workflows, identifies friction, and designs AI automation opportunities that improve productivity, cycle time, consistency, and visibility.

We focus on workflows where teams are buried in manual work, repetitive decisions, document handling, handoffs, approvals, emails, spreadsheet tracking, and disconnected systems.

Deliverables

  • Workflow discovery workshops
  • Process pain-point analysis
  • Automation opportunity map
  • AI assistant and copilot recommendations
  • Manual effort reduction estimates
  • Business case and ROI model
  • Automation roadmap
  • Pilot design and implementation plan

  • AI governance framework
  • Responsible AI policy
  • Use case intake and risk classification
  • Human-in-the-loop controls
  • Model and agent monitoring standards
  • Data privacy and access controls

The Builder's Room

Executive AI Enablement — turn your leaders' ideas into solutions they build themselves

Every operationally complex business is sitting on the same untapped asset: leaders who know exactly what they would build if they could. The report that doesn't exist. The workflow that should be automated. The analysis they rebuild by hand every month. Until recently, those ideas died in a backlog — waiting on a vendor quote or an IT roadmap measured in quarters.

That constraint is gone. With conversational AI, vibe coding, and MCP-connected tools, a business leader can now build the solution themselves. The Builder's Room teaches them how to think about it, scope it, and ship it. This is not training. Nobody leaves with notes. They leave with something that runs.

Everything built in the room is designed to pass your security and governance review. We build the guardrails in, not bolt them on.

How it works

The Builder's Room is a hands-on working session where your leaders build with AI on their own real problems — coached live, the entire way. Choose the altitude that fits your goal.

Tier 1

Spark

Build your first solution.

2 days · 16 hours · minimum 10 participants

For teams getting started. Leaders surface real use cases, learn to tell buildable from not, and each ship a working solution on their own problem.

Day 1 — Find it & frame it

Use-case discovery from real work · buildable-vs-not judgment · process mapping · build spec · intro to prompting, vibe coding (Cursor / Claude), and MCP-connected data.

Day 2 — Build it & ship it

Guided end-to-end build · live coaching and unblocking · governance pressure-test · everyone demos.

Walk away with

  • A working solution each leader built
  • Personal prompting & build playbook
  • Governance guardrail checklist
  • 30-day keep-building path
Most popular

Tier 2

Scale

Build it, then take it back to your team.

3 days · 24 hours · minimum 10 participants

Everything in Spark, plus a third day that turns individual builds into a team capability — so the value doesn't walk out with the workshop.

Days 1–2 — Spark, in full.

Day 3 — Spread it

Hardening builds for real use · connecting to live data sources safely · prioritized use-case backlog for the wider team · a Builder's Operating Rhythm so leaders keep shipping monthly · internal champion identification · executive demo to sponsors.

Adds on top of Spark

  • Team use-case backlog (prioritized)
  • Builder's Operating Rhythm playbook
  • Internal champion plan
  • Sponsor demo & readout

Tier 3

Embed

Build it, scale it, and make it safe for production.

4 days · 32 hours · minimum 10 participants

Everything in Scale, plus a fourth day that connects what leaders build to your governance and a credible path to production — closing the shadow-AI risk that self-service building creates.

Days 1–3 — Scale, in full.

Day 4 — Govern it & graduate it

Map builds to your data-access and approval policies · risk-tier each solution · define the promote-to-production path with IT · shadow-AI guardrails · a 90-day adoption and value-tracking plan · executive governance readout.

Adds on top of Scale

  • Builds mapped to your governance model
  • Risk-tiering + promote-to-production path
  • Shadow-AI guardrail kit
