Know Which AI Your Data Can Run, Before You Fund It
DataTruth is the independent grade of your data as an AI asset, built specifically for private equity. Most AI initiatives stall on data nobody measured first: a company gets excited about AI, commits significant capital, then discovers the data foundation was never ready. DataTruth exists to make that failure preventable. It delivers two clear reads on the data behind a deal, a Truth Score for whether the data can be trusted and a Leverability read for what it can actually run, both deterministic, benchmarked, and delivered in days rather than months.
Informed by research from Gartner, McKinsey, EY, Bain, and S&P Global, DataTruth scores data across six weighted dimensions and maps every result to specific remediation steps with estimated impact. The verdict arrives in investment-committee language, not engineering jargon: a clear go or no-go, the time to AI-ready quantified in weeks, and the cost to close the gap. For a firm whose entire model is built around the private-equity value-creation cycle, DataTruth adds the missing metric that tells operating partners exactly where each portfolio company stands.
INDEPENDENCE IS THE POINT
The Independent Read
That Protects the Capital
Clarity Before Capital
DataTruth prices the data risk before the money goes out. Its AI Readiness Assessment connects to a company’s core business systems, whatever they are, and grades the data across accuracy, completeness, consistency, governance, connectivity, and lineage. The result is a go or no-go on the AI upside in the thesis, delivered while there is still time to act on it, not after a pilot has stalled.
Use-Case Leverability, Not Generic Audits
Generic data quality is not enough, because readiness depends on the use case: a churn model and a demand forecast need completely different data. DataTruth scores data against the specific AI use cases in a value-creation plan and reports which are ready to deploy now, which need work, and which pillar is holding each one back, turning a vague ambition into a prioritized, actionable roadmap.
Value at Every Stage of the Hold
DataTruth stays the independent instrument from first look to exit. It grades the AI upside pre-deal, converts the Leverability read into a first-100-days plan, monitors and re-scores the data through the hold to prove the lift, and produces a documented, benchmarked readiness story the next buyer can trust at exit. Readiness becomes a durable asset, not a one-off score.
