Owned
A thing exists and is on the record: a data asset, a use case, a risk, a stakeholder. Nothing more is claimed about it yet.
The data and AI programme record
Run the whole data and AI programme on one record.
Assettia is the data and AI programme record: one place where an organisation keeps what its programme owns, what it has decided, and what it has proved. Every figure traces to a record. Gaps are shown as gaps. Strategy set, use cases forged, operating models designed, data products taken to market, risks governed, value proved, boards reported: eight workstreams, one record.

Three states, one rule
Every record is in one of three states, and the state is never inferred.
The platform does not compose an opinion about progress. It evaluates fixed rules over records and reports the result. The three marks on every page are those rules made visible.
Decided
A named person has taken a decision about it and the reason is written down. Prioritised, approved, controlled, deferred.
Proved
Evidence is linked: a measurement, an attestation, a document. The only state that earns colour, and the only one a board should be shown as fact.
What the record holds
The whole programme, not a slice of it.
Governance tools hold the models. Portfolio tools hold the projects. Slide decks hold the strategy, until they are out of date. Assettia holds all of it as linked records, so a question asked at board level can be answered from the same place the work is done.
Every opportunity, from first mention to value delivered, scored against the same criteria.
What data exists, who owns it, its quality, its rights, and which use cases depend on it.
Gating decisions with the rationale and the person who took them, on the programme's plan spine.
An AI risk register with controls, regulatory reference points and attestation sign-off.
Benchmarks, tracked metrics and measurements, linked to the use cases they support.
Board-grade documents produced from the record, with every figure naming its population.
Eight workstreams, one record
Everything a programme does, on the same record.
The platform is organised around the questions a programme has to answer. Each workstream is a set of modules that share a question, and every one of them reads from and writes to the same record.
- Strategy: the direction: what the organisation wants from data and AI, and how it will know it is winning.
- Value: the portfolio: finding, choosing, justifying and proving the work.
- Operating model: how the data and AI function is structured, governed and led.
- People and adoption: whether the organisation can actually use what gets built.
- Governance: the rules and the record: risk, policy, accountability.
- Delivery: turning decisions into working things.
- Data: the foundations: what data exists, what state it is in, and who looks after it.
- Monetisation: treating data as a product with external customers.
Who it is for
One record, read three ways.
01
The Chief Data Officer
Runs the programme from the record. Captures evidence, prioritises use cases, tracks value and produces the board paper without opening a word processor.
02
The executive team
Sees the state of the programme in the words the business uses, with the next decision always on screen and the reason for the last one a click away.
03
The board
Reads a document in which every figure traces to a record, empty registers are stated as empty, and nothing has been composed by a model without a person approving it.
How it works
Built from a consulting method, not a feature list.
The platform encodes how experienced data and AI advisers run a programme: what to capture first, what to decide next, what counts as proof. Four rules hold everywhere, and the code enforces them.
How it worksDeterministic first
Where a rule over records can answer, it does. Composed narrative is the exception, and it is labelled.
AI drafts, a person approves
Nothing generated writes to a live record. Output lands in a reviewable state and becomes a record when someone accepts it.
Every figure names its population
A count says what it counted. Click it and the platform shows the list.
Honest gaps
A register with nothing in it says so. An assessment not yet run is shown as not yet run, never as zero.
For boards
A board paper produced from the record, not from a word processor.
Directors now carry direct accountability for how data and AI are governed. The board report is generated from the same records the programme runs on, reviewed and approved by a named person, and filed with its version. When a figure changes, the report says so.
What a director can do with it: open any figure to its population, read the decision behind any priority, and see which registers are still empty.

Where it sits
Adjacent to three categories. Inside none of them.
Not an AI governance platform
Those hold models and controls. Assettia holds the whole programme, and links governance to the use cases and decisions it governs.
Not a portfolio tracker
Those hold projects and dates. Assettia holds evidence, decisions and value, and produces the paper the board reads.
Not decision intelligence
Those automate operational decisions. Assettia records the strategic ones, with the person who took them and the reason.
Questions people ask
Assettia in seven answers
The short version of what the record is, who keeps it and how a board reads it.
What is Assettia?
Assettia is the data and AI programme record: one place where an organisation keeps what its programme owns, what it has decided, and what it has proved. It is software for chief data officers, executive teams and boards.
What is a data and AI programme record?
The single, evidence-linked account of an organisation's data and AI programme: its use cases, data assets, decisions, risks, value evidence and board reports, kept as linked records rather than documents.
What do Owned, Decided and Proved mean?
The three states every record is in. Owned: the thing is on the record. Decided: a named person has taken a decision about it and written down the reason. Proved: evidence is linked to it. The state is derived from the record, never assigned by opinion.
Is Assettia an AI governance tool?
No. Governance tools hold models, agents and controls. Assettia holds the whole programme and links governance to the use cases and decisions it governs. It is also not a portfolio tracker and not decision intelligence.
Who uses Assettia?
The chief data officer and the team who run the programme keep the record. The executive team reads the state of the programme from it. The board reads a report produced from it.
How does a board use it?
It reads a board report generated from the record and approved by a named person, opens any figure to the population it counted, reads the decision behind any priority, and sees which registers are still empty.
How does an organisation start?
With a forty-minute walkthrough on a synthetic organisation, so nothing of its own is entered until it decides it should be.
