Can the right data be found?
Findability ensures data can be located easily using identifiers and metadata that describe the data's characteristics — so people and systems discover what exists.
An assessment library built to grow
Start with a Xendat assessment pack, configure a custom framework, or engage a specialized assessment hosted by an AptitudeIQ partner. Every assessment uses the same guided scoring, organizational analysis, and reporting engine.

FAIR Data Assessment
FAIR data is easy to find, accessible under well-defined conditions, interoperable across systems, and reusable by people and machines. AptitudeIQ scores each of the four FAIR principles and averages them into a single FAIR capability score and maturity level.
Can it be retrieved, safely?
Accessibility ensures data can be retrieved under well-defined conditions — through open access or appropriate data-sharing agreements, with the right controls.
Does it work with other data?
Interoperability ensures data can be integrated and used in combination with other datasets or systems, often by adhering to standard formats and protocols.
Can it be reused with confidence?
Reusability focuses on data being well-documented — including its source, format, and purpose — so it can be trusted and reused in other contexts.
Worked example
How a FAIR score comes together
In a sample assessment of a fictional company, the four FAIR sub-scores averaged into an overall FAIR capability at Level 2 — Opportunistic: sporadic implementation of FAIR principles, but lacking standard frameworks and cross-functional alignment. Individual sub-scores reveal exactly where to focus first.

Data Management Assessment
The disciplines behind trusted, well-run data. Take the full suite for a single rolled-up Data Management score and maturity level — or run any one area on its own as a focused single-area assessment.
Data Governance
Ownership, policies, accountability, and decision rights that keep data managed and trustworthy.
Data Quality
Accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness — and the processes that sustain them.
Master Data Management
A single, reconciled view of core entities like customers, products, and suppliers across systems.
Metadata Management
Consistent tagging, cataloging, and lineage so data can be described, discovered, and understood.
Data Architecture
The models, platforms, and integration patterns that let data flow reliably across the organization.
Reference Data Management
Governed, shared reference values and code sets that keep systems aligned and interoperable.
Information Lifecycle Management
How data is created, retained, archived, and retired — balancing value, cost, and compliance.
Full suite or single area
Engage all seven for one rolled-up Data Management maturity level, or start with the single area where the pain is sharpest — for example, Data Quality — and expand later.
Extensible platform
Custom & partner-hosted assessments
FAIR and Data Management are Xendat's current ready-to-run packs. Organizations and consulting partners can also configure specialized capability or industry assessments on the same scoring, analysis, and reporting engine.
- Define the competencies that matter for a specific capability or sector.
- Score them on the same 0–5 scale across People, Process, Technology, Strategy, and Standards.
- Generate consistent dashboards, findings, recommendations, roadmaps, and reports.
