Volumes have been written on the need for high-quality data to support organizational decision-making. Most of those books appear to focus on the development and sustainment of data from the standpoint of those directly responsible for the management of data stores and the use of technology necessary to acquire, store, and secure data sets.

provides executives and subject matter experts (SMEs) with a "reasonable" set of useful tools they can adapt to their specific organization and operating environment.
