SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Startup founders and data leaders face four recurring strategic data decisions without a Chief Data Officer: whether customer data can legally train AI models, which data architecture fits their stage, what their customer data is worth for fundraising or M&A, and which data role to hire next. This Skill provides decision frameworks and deterministic Python tools to answer each.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AI Training Data Audit: Classify each data source by origin, data class, and use case to receive GO, MITIGATE, or NO-GO verdicts with GDPR, EU AI Act, and case-law citations.
  • Data Architecture Picker: Get a stage-driven recommendation between warehouse, lakehouse, and data mesh, plus build-vs-buy guidance per platform layer and a 12-month roadmap.
  • Data Asset Valuation: Score a B2B customer data corpus on exclusivity, freshness, cohort breadth, and history depth to estimate M&A multipliers and rank productization paths.
  • Use Case: A Series B SaaS founder preparing for acquisition runs the valuator on their 380-customer corpus, discovers 47 MSA carve-outs blocking licensing, and chooses the benchmark-report path while re-papering contracts.

Quick Start

Ask the advisor whether your customer support transcripts can be used to fine-tune your model, and run the training data audit script on your data source inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions about chief-data-officer-advisor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if customer data can be used for AI training?

Run ai_training_data_audit.py with a JSON inventory of your data sources, each tagged by origin, data class, and use case. The script returns GO, MITIGATE, or NO-GO per source with the specific legal risk, remediation steps, and citations such as GDPR Article 6 and the EU AI Act.

Warehouse vs lakehouse vs data mesh: which data architecture should a startup choose?

The choice is stage-driven: warehouse-only for up to 5 consumers and under 2TB, lakehouse for 5-25 consumers or ML workloads, and data mesh only at 25+ consumers with a federated ownership culture. The data_product_strategy_picker.py script computes the recommendation from your company profile.

Can scraped data be used to train machine learning models?

No. The audit rules classify scraped data as NO-GO for any training use case because it lacks a lawful basis under GDPR Article 6 and carries copyright and terms-of-service exposure. The recommended remediation is licensed alternatives, synthetic data, or building an explicit opt-in pipeline.

How is B2B customer data valued for M&A or fundraising?

The data_asset_valuator.py script scores a corpus on exclusivity, freshness, cohort breadth, and history depth to produce a 0-10 strategic value and a moat rating. Strong moats map to 1.4x-1.7x ARR multipliers, discounted for MSA carve-outs, failed anonymization audits, or regulated data.

When should a startup hire its first data scientist?

Not as the first data hire. The stage-to-role map starts with an analyst at Series A, then an analytics engineer, then a data engineer at Series B. A data scientist only makes sense once data is clean, a data engineer is in place, and a model has clear ROI.

Does this skill replace legal review for data decisions?

No. The skill explicitly states it is not legal advice and does not replace qualified counsel. It surfaces decisions, risks, and tradeoffs, and directs users to cross-check training-data rights, DPAs, and M&A diligence items with legal advisors.
