    Data-to-Decision

    From data and records created in the course of business to an analysis that a decision actually uses, through ownership, definitions, pipelines and retention. Where Record-to-Report (VS-70) produces the financial statements, this stream serves any decision and keeps the evidence behind it findable and kept for the right time.
