• Building and maintaining the Enterprise Consumption Layer (enterprise-ready star schemas / dimensional models)
• Data product structure, onboarding standards, and lifecycle (naming, documentation, quality expectations)
• BI and downstream access patterns (including guardrails for scalable consumption)
