Services · Assessment · Step 1 of 3

In 1–2 weeks you know exactly what's holding your data back from supporting AI, and what every day without fixing it costs you.

The Fabric Clarity Check is a non-invasive technical audit of your Power BI or Microsoft Fabric environment. We identify performance bottlenecks, security risks and readiness for AI agents, and hand you a concrete action map with documented financial impact.

60%

of AI projects fail because their data foundations aren't ready.

Without reliable data, well-designed models, governance and a solid architecture, any AI initiative will end up facing inconsistent answers, hallucinations and security risks.

The situation assessment

Sound familiar?

Fabric costs out of control

Your Azure bill grows month after month, but nobody can attribute which query or pipeline is overspending. Finance asks questions the technical team can't answer.

AI readiness blocked

Your team wants to connect Copilot or a data agent to your reports, but nobody can guarantee the answers are correct, and the risk team won't approve anything it can't document.

Security and access with no map

Permissions in OneLake and Power BI grew organically. Someone has access to information they shouldn't. Nobody knows for certain who sees what.

Adoption that never takes off

The dashboards exist, but the team keeps going back to Excel. There are duplicate versions of the same report with different metrics.

The difference the assessment makes

Before and after the Fabric Clarity Check

Without the assessment ❌

  • You invest in Fabric capacity without being sure which one you need, and you may be overpaying.
  • Your data isn't ready for AI: nobody can guarantee the answers are safe or reliable.
  • Uncontrolled access, security leaks.
  • Slow reports that push the team back to Excel.
  • The board makes decisions on metrics that two reports show with different values.

With the assessment ✓

  • You know exactly what capacity you need, with technical justification.
  • Your data models as a reliable foundation for AI.
  • A complete access map and how to guarantee the security of your data.
  • Recommendations to get reports under 3 seconds.
  • A single source of truth the whole organization shares.

What you get

Technical and executive documents. Not slides.

01

Executive Diagnostic Report

A technical analysis of your current infrastructure. Every inefficiency identified includes its estimated financial impact in compute cost and lost development hours.

You'll have a clear map of what's failing and what it's costing you.

02

Implementation Roadmap

The recommended end-to-end sequence: what to fix in the first 30 days and what can wait until next quarter. Specific to your architecture and your context.

You'll have a clear route with priorities and next steps.

03

Optimization guide

The concrete actions your team can execute right away, prioritized and explained step by step.

No additional consulting required.

04

AI Data Lens agent (90 days)

An AI agent specialized in Microsoft Fabric with the full memory of your project.

It supports your team while they execute.

★ Included from Clarity Audit up — NuData Governance Score: A 0–100 score across 6 dimensions (performance, security, governance, AI-readiness, adoption, costs), ready for the board or your risk team.

How it works

1–2 weeks of active work + 30 days of follow-up.

01

Discovery call — 60 min

Before the meeting you fill out a short worksheet about your environment. On the call we review it, ask your track's questions and agree right there on the documentation to prepare and the access needed. You leave knowing exactly what your team has to gather.

02

Documentation prep

Your team gathers the information we agreed on during discovery.

03

Technical audit

The scope is set by your track. We analyze the documentation your team prepared and audit your environment to review what has been built so far.

04

Clarity Session — 90 min

A session to present and explain the findings, the quantified impact and the action plan. You leave with the roadmap and total clarity.

05

30 days of follow-up — included

Two sessions to resolve questions while your team executes, plus the Data Lens agent with the full memory of the assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need Microsoft Fabric up and running to do the assessment?

No. It works before (to decide whether to migrate) or after. If you're at the evaluation stage, it's the ideal starting point to build the business case before committing the investment.

Does your data leave your environment?

No. The audit works in read-only mode over metadata and logs in your own tenant. Business data never leaves your environment.

How much of the internal team's time does it take?

Two meetings: the 60-min discovery call and the 90-min Clarity Session. In between, your team gathers the documentation we agreed on during discovery (we tell you exactly what). The analysis is asynchronous.

When does the 1–2 week clock start?

When we receive the complete documentation. It's the only part we don't control, so it doesn't count against your timeline.

What happens if I continue with the Fabric Blueprint?

50% of the assessment is credited toward the Fabric Blueprint if you move forward within 30 days of the Clarity Session.
