Competitor Landscape

  • Talend Data Quality
  • Informatica Data Quality
  • Ataccama
  • Precisely
  • Monte Carlo Data Observability
  • Great Expectations

Must-Have Features for MVP

Domain-specific validation packs (MM/SD/FI/CO) with regional tax rules
Quarantine layer for failed payloads with SLA-based routing
Repair UI with impact analysis and pre-post simulation
Duplicate detection and golden record creation for vendors/materials
