Raw file: Open Brain corpus snapshot at /_raw_sources/open-brain-2026-05-17-corpus.md. Workbook on disk: ~/AgentData/ClaudeAccess/Projects/03 Credit Lifecycle/Briefs/2026-04-26 CLMP DG and DQ Delivery Plan v0.1 DRAFT.xlsx (DRAFT v0.1).
What it claims
Objective. Design a single, joined-up data governance operating model for the Credit Lifecycle Management Programme (CLMP) at an Irish Tier-1 retail bank that embeds data quality management into the target credit data architecture, with a defined transition into a sustainable BAU operating state owned by the business and the credit risk function.
Anchors. BCBS 239, ECB RDARR Guide May 2024, DAMA-DMBOK v2, DCAM v3 — with target DCAM 4 at CLM R2.
Six responsibilities:
- Run a focused current-state assessment of governance forums, decision rights and DQ processes across lines of business and the credit risk function.
- Design the target data governance operating model: roles, RACI, decision rights, policy hierarchy, escalation paths, forum interlock.
- Embed the agreed DQ approach (sourcing → ingestion → ODS processing → consumption + remediation) into the operating model.
- Define in-flight controls and remediation processes (in-flight fix-forward, quarantine-and-replay, at-source fix, reference-data fix) with severity-based SLAs.
- Produce the CLMP-to-BAU transition plan.
- Socialise designs through programme forums; secure Programme Director and Business Data Owner sign-off.
Five deliverables:
- Current-state assessment & gap analysis (Deliverable 1).
- Target Operating Model design pack (Deliverable 2).
- DQ management framework embedded in the TOM (Deliverable 3).
- CLMP-to-BAU transition roadmap (Deliverable 4).
- Stakeholder engagement & sign-off pack (Deliverable 5).
Acceptance criteria. Approved by Programme Director and Business Data Owner; endorsed by CRO representative for BCBS 239 alignment; design decisions logged through programme governance.
Delivery plan. 15 tasks across three phases, Mon 4 May – Fri 31 Jul 2026:
- Phase 1 Mobilise & Discover (4 tasks, 4–29 May): Mobilisation & stakeholder map; current-state governance review; current-state DQ process assessment; gap analysis vs BCBS 239 / ECB / DCAM v3.
- Phase 2 Design (4 tasks, 1 Jun – 3 Jul): Target Operating Model; Forum interlock & ToR updates; DQ framework embedded in TOM; In-flight controls & remediation playbook.
- Phase 3 Socialise & Transition (7 tasks, 1 Jun – 31 Jul): Design workshops & socialisation; CLMP-to-BAU transition roadmap; capability/skills/tooling assessment; final design pack consolidation; CRO / BCBS 239 alignment review; Programme Director / BDO sign-off; closeout & handover.
Design decisions (25 April 2026): brief is role-agnostic; scoped as 3-month initial engagement; governance forums referenced generically (Enterprise DG Council, ARB, DQ Forum, BCBS 239 attestation forum) rather than naming the in-flight CLM Design Sub-Committee ToR v0.1.
Notable quotes
None — own-writing.
What’s speculative vs. asserted
- Asserted (as scope): all six responsibilities, five deliverables, 15 tasks, dates.
- Forward-looking: acceptance is contingent on Programme Director / BDO / CRO sign-off, not yet secured at point of capture.

Open questions raised
- Whether the 3-month initial engagement will be re-contracted for follow-on phases as assumed.
- Whether the forum interlock as designed can absorb the existing CLM Design Sub-Committee ToR v0.1 without conflict.
