Team X-Ray · free diagnostic
Describe who holds which seat on your data project. A rule engine built on twenty years of programme scars reads the structure the way a veteran would: the gaps, the collisions, and the person about to burn out.
The diagnostic runs in your browser. AI narration is optional and only sends your findings when you ask for it.
New — AI narration. Run the diagnostic, then members can turn the real findings into a plain-language read-out and a next-step plan. It only calls the AI when you ask.
Initials are enough. The same initials on two seats is exactly what the X-Ray looks for.
Air cover, budget authority, political shield
Owns the plan, the RAID log, and the room
Policy authority, stewardship orchestration
Accountable for a domain's truth
Day-to-day data quality and rules enforcement
Translates business reality into requirements
Platform choices, data model, integration design
Builds pipelines, connectors, transformations
Profiles, measures, monitors data health
Training, comms, resistance management
Learning on the job, needs mentoring and guard rails
Assign at least one seat, or load the sample.
One person carrying too many heavy roles. Beloved by leadership, one resignation away from disaster.
Data Owner and Data Steward collapsed into one chair. Who checks the checker?
The Business Analyst everyone assumes is on it, available two afternoons a week.
Executive air cover that exists on the slide but not in the room where budgets die.
Change management as a shared afterthought while the rollout date holds firm.
Critical seats held by people still learning them, with no guard rails in sight.
On top of the patterns, every person holding two or more seats is checked against a compatibility matrix: which pairings survive, which turn dangerous under pressure, and which are structurally fatal no matter how good the person is.
