What is the Audit-Tested Data Catalog ROI Frameworks course about?

Teams invest in data catalogs expecting faster discovery and stronger compliance, yet struggle to prove ROI or sustain adoption. Without audit-tested frameworks, efforts stall in pilot mode, fail under scrutiny, or collapse when key people leave. Distributed work intensifies these challenges, misalignment grows, context is lost, and governance becomes reactive.
