BI governance you can see in the estate

Governance that lives in a document does not change what a clinician sees on Monday morning. Governance that lives in the estate does: a certified report is marked as certified, a measure has one definition and one owner, and a new analyst can find the right semantic model before building another one. This service puts governance where users encounter it.

What it covers

• Certified content. Which reports and models carry the organization’s endorsement, what it takes to earn it, and how it is shown in Power BI and Fabric so people can tell.
• Ownership. Every shared semantic model, lakehouse, and workspace has a named owner and a named backup. Not a committee.
• Discoverability. A catalog view of what exists, what it is for, and who to ask, so reuse is easier than rebuilding.
• Reuse rules. How teams connect to shared models, what backward compatibility means when a model changes, and how access is granted without chaining datasets together.
• Retirement. What happens to reports nobody opens, and who decides.

When to call

• The same metric is reported three ways and each has a defender.
• Self-service was opened up and the workspace count doubled in a year.
• An audit or a leadership question exposed that nobody can say which report is authoritative.

What you get

A governance model implemented in the tenant, not delivered as a slide deck: certification criteria and labels in place, an ownership register, a catalog, and the reuse rules written for the people who will follow them. The Healthcare Metrics Reference is the public version of the definitional side of this work.
