Phase 1

Phase 1 — Unified Data Operating System

One truth. All signals. Build shared truth from governed logs and consented context.

We make the invisible foundation tangible. Every metric, alert, and workflow is traceable back to governed, consented data.

Snow White Laundry proves the thesis: engineered truth unlocks ethical automation without sacrificing trust.

Why Phase 1 exists

Evidence before empathy

Fragmented data → broken trust

Teams lose hours reconciling spreadsheets, inbox attachments, and point tools. No one agrees on a single number, so automation never takes root.

No provenance → unverifiable decisions

Without lineage, leaders can’t prove why a decision was made. Compliance, finance, and frontline staff all operate off different histories.

No consent → ethical risk

Data is collected faster than policies evolve. Customers and staff have no clarity on how their data powers daily operations.

Unified Data OS = governed proof

Phase 1 installs a single operating system for context: ingestion, consent, lineage, and audit anchors. We engineer truth so later empathy and automation stand on verifiable ground.

The unified stack

Sources → Staging → Clean → Gold → Proof

One governed pipeline. Every handoff is verifiable, consent-aware, and ready for audit.

Animated pipeline from raw sources to proof anchors with consent signals at every checkpoint.

Sources

POS, sheets, finance exports, Gmail invoices, IoT sensors streaming events with signed metadata.

Staging

Raw ingestion with schema inference, consent tagging, anomaly flags, and quarantine queues.

Clean Views

Conformed tables with column-level lineage, PII minimization, and business-ready dimensions.

Gold Views

Finance, operations, and customer lenses with cross-system reconciliation baked in.

Proof Anchors

Temporal ledger storing hashes, consent state, and audit trails. Nothing personal leaves the vault.

Data Health KPIs

Measure trust like a product

Each KPI feeds the composite Data Trust Score — the heartbeat of Phase 1.

Snow White Laundry · Phase 1 Pilot

Ethical data in the real world

St. John’s NL · 32-seat restaurant. Every shift now runs on governed data with provable consent and lineage.

Interactive SWL dashboard run: waste tracking, consent ledger, and nightly reconciliation.

Phase 1 unified POS tickets, supplier invoices, labor shifts, and bank settlements. Consent events are tracked at the record level, so SWL can prove what data powers each report. The Assistant flags anomalies, while Temporal anchors proofs nightly.

12-month roadmap

Proof in quarters, not slogans

Each quarter expands the unified data OS while keeping consent and audit signals first-class.
