AGE UP / CAPABILITIES BEFORE SKYLINES

Context conservatory: build the next age

Age names are a visual metaphor. Requirements below come from the installed DAIS rubric 3.2, not an invented technology ladder.

A domain level alone is not evidence that each criterion holds. This is a rubric-based discussion checklist, not a verified gap analysis or a customer implementation roadmap. Lower-level criteria must continue to hold. D L1 means Data at Level 1; criterion D1 means “Ownership and contract”.

Bring evidence, not just a higher number.

For this landmark: Meaning tests, entity matches, permission-aware retrieval and index freshness.

Identify an owner for each capability; compare present practice to the criteria; record unknowns; implement and test missing controls; then reassess using the full questionnaire. These are general discovery steps, not a claim that purchasing a specific tool achieves a level.

All criteria shown for each dependency domain matter; this landmark is a way into the framework, not a shortcut around the rest of the assessment. Level 4 still requires ongoing review and evidence.

03 / THE CITY MAP

Every landmark has a job.

READ THE METAPHOR

A skyline is not a certification.

These are deliberately stylized stages: an unbuilt plot, a small settlement, a growing district, a connected metropolis and a flourishing landmark. Small buildings do not mean real systems are broken; tall buildings do not establish safety, compliance or permission to deploy.

This map summarizes the Enterprise AI–Data Operating Stacks and knowledge graph over gold. Its dependency rules are an educational overlay, not the canonical DAIS assessment formula. It does not infer question-level answers, evidence, data health or business impact from four domain levels.
