Chapter 29. Financial attributes for the Data and Information Inventory
Financial attributes capture the estimated business value of this Data and Information type — enabling data asset valuation and return-on-investment analysis for data governance programs.
| Attribute Name | Maturity | Description and Notes |
| Estimated Annual Value | Run | Description — The assessed business value of this Data and Information type — the estimated annual contribution to revenue, cost reduction, risk mitigation, or regulatory compliance, or the estimated cost to the enterprise of losing this type. Benefit(s) — Enables ROI analysis at the data type level. As data is increasingly recognized as a balance sheet asset, quantifying its value supports investment prioritization in data quality and governance programs. Source — Manual. Notes — A rough order of magnitude is more useful than no value. Methodology: estimate revenue attribution, cost avoidance, or replacement cost. Document the estimation methodology alongside the value. |
