Platform choice scorecard
Score the four choices that set a data platform's shape: storage, integration, ownership, and where definitions live.
The decision it helps with
Which shape fits your team now: a warehouse, a lake or a lakehouse; ETL, ELT or change data capture; and how ownership and definitions should work.
How to use it
- Answer each question for your situation today, not for the one you hope to reach.
- In each section, the answers that point the same way are your starting default.
- Write the choice and the reason down as a decision record, so it can be revisited when the answers change.
