About
We are the decision governance company.
DataVisuals builds the system of record for consequential decisions — one engine, governing the calls that institutions have to stand behind. From the lending desk to the boardroom; from the federal program to the inspector general.
DataVisuals applies one decision-governance discipline across two separate SaaS products, powered by the Decision Semantics™ Engine. Decision Governance™ delivers examiner-ready governance for banks and credit unions — ten governed workflows, lending to boardroom. Decision Pipelines™ delivers fraud governance for federal grants and entitlements; it governs award and eligibility decisions before improper payment, with an IG-ready evidence trail.
Today’s institutions run dashboards, GRC catalogs, workflow tools, and warehouses. None of these produce a structured decision record. Both products do.
The products are not connected — different buyers, different data, different oversight regimes. Decision Governance™ helps financial institutions report to examiners as they always have, with a structured decision record that makes that reporting easy and consistent. Decision Pipelines™ helps federal agencies and states govern waste and fraud on entitlements and grants.
Our products
Decision Governance™
Ten workflows govern owner, rationale, evidence, and outcome on every consequential call — accountable to examiners and the board. Per-workflow productized pricing lets institutions start where the noise is loudest. Explore Decision Governance.
Decision Pipelines™
Fraud governance for federal programs: fraud-risk screening, accountability that follows the dollar, and a full evidence trail accountable to the OIG, GAO, and improper-payment mandates. Explore Decision Pipelines.
What we believe
Decisions deserve engineering rigor.
Code, data, and infrastructure are version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and observable. Decisions — the most consequential artifacts of any institution — deserve the same standard. DataVisuals founded the decision-governance software category that treats them that way.
The decision record should be the artifact.
Slide decks, email threads, and committee minutes are how institutions remember decisions today. The record should be the artifact — structured, queryable, exportable — produced as the decision is made, not reconstructed afterward.
For financial institutions: productized pricing.
Per workflow. The same price for every institution. No negotiation on tier, no enterprise theater for sub-bundles. Enterprise pricing is custom because Enterprise scope is custom — everything below it is productized so the buyer can act on the decision without a procurement cycle.
For financial institutions: a category that cannot be measured will not be taken seriously.
We publish the Decision Governance Index quarterly to benchmark Decision Governance™ maturity — so the FI category is citable, comparable, and ours. The benchmark is open methodology; the report is the artifact our category is anchored on. Decision Pipelines™ is a separate product line on the same discipline.
Behind the platform
Three decades engineering advanced analytics and governance process design at the scale and discipline regulated institutions require. Inside that work: Eaglemark Savings Bank (HDFS’s industrial bank charter) inside the Harley-Davidson enterprise architecture footprint; five-plus years as head of the customer-facing data services practice at Alation, building metadata, lineage, and analytics-governance programs alongside banks, credit unions, and fintechs. Contributor and reviewer on DAMA DMBOK2 — the field’s definitive guide to data governance. Five years on Gartner’s Enterprise Architecture Advisor Board.
The discipline behind the platform comes from those experiences. Decisions are data artifacts — owner, rationale, evidence, outcome — engineered to be queryable, exportable, and citable whether the next reader is an examiner or an Inspector General. The same method applies whether the decision is a credit call or a grant award — never the same data, never the same product.
How we go to market
Banks & credit unions. Direct to credit unions, community banks, and regional institutions. Per-workflow self-serve is the entry point; Team Bundle is the most common starting scope; Enterprise unlocks the apex layer. Institutions still report to examiners as they always have; Decision Governance™ puts a structured record behind every consequential call so that reporting stays easy and consistent.
Federal government and states. Briefings and pilot conversations with program-integrity teams, agency leadership, and certifying officers. Decision Pipelines™ governs waste and fraud on entitlements and grants — every consequential call carrying a named owner, structured rationale, supporting evidence, and a recorded, auditable outcome.
