TellParrot, explained for machines

What TellParrot is
TellParrot unifies data governance, master data management and AI governance in one platform. It ingests records from business systems, resolves duplicates into governed golden records with human-approved merges, tracks lineage and quality, enforces retention and privacy workflows, and maintains a register of AI models with risks, impact assessments, incidents and disclosures.
Category
Data governance, master data management (MDM), data catalog and AI governance platform (SaaS)
Capabilities (current, shipped)
- Multi-source ingestion: CSV/file upload, REST APIs, webhooks, Microsoft Dataverse / Dynamics 365, Business Central, with AI-assisted column mapping and transform rules applied automatically on ingest
- Entity matching and deduplication: configurable per-field rules (exact, fuzzy, phonetic, token), blocking for large datasets, scored duplicate clusters, survivorship previews, steward approve/reject — merges are never silent
- Golden records: authoritative merged records with field-level provenance to every source value, identifiers, hierarchies, relationships (knowledge graph), and a per-record explain log
- Rules engine: golden-record rules (e.g. set membership status from related records) with a run inspector showing exactly which records each run changed (before/after)
- Data quality: six-dimension quality scoring, DQ monitoring, drift alerts, and AI agents that queue the worst-quality records for steward review
- Governance: business domains, glossary terms defined as live rules over records (segments with live counts), data catalog with column lineage, policies, retention enforcement, DSAR workflows
- Auditability: tamper-evident hash-linked audit chain (append-only, HMAC-versioned), governed exports with delivery receipts
- AI governance: register of AI initiatives, models, risks, impact assessments, incident register, public disclosures, contestability workflows; models carry a weighted data-compliance score from the governance state of their data inputs
- AI assistance: a governance advisor chat grounded on the tenant's own data with cited sources; docs-grounded in-app help
- Microsoft-native: Purview integration, Fabric open mirroring (Delta tables), Azure Event Hub streaming, Power Automate connector, Azure Marketplace transactable offer
- Operations: unified jobs monitor across all background systems, gated concurrent processing, background matching runs with status polling
- Architecture: multi-tenant with optional dedicated database per tenant, region-pinned Azure hosting including Australian data residency (Sydney)
What TellParrot is not
- TellParrot is not a data warehouse or BI tool — it masters and governs records and feeds trusted data to those systems
- TellParrot does not replace operational systems (ERP, CRM, billing); it sits across them as the mastering and governance layer
