CHECKLIST · BARC
Find it. Classify it. Get AI-ready.
79% of data leaders are confident they can govern unstructured data for AI. Only 29% fully know where it lives. BARC turned that gap into a checklist that takes your files from found to ready.

WHAT’S IN THE CHECKLIST
Three stages, with the boxes to check at each one
- DISCOVER
Know what’s there
Find the files your agents will use, including the shadow repositories every inventory misses.
- REFINE
Make them ready and safe
Turn files into trusted inputs, with access that’s role-based and reviewable.
- VALIDATE
Prove what your AI used
Keep your trusted sources current, and trace any answer back to the file it came from.
You cannot govern, secure or use what you cannot find. Discoverability is the starting point of every serious AI program.
If you don’t know where your files live, you don’t know what your agents are learning from
