Too many Systems. Not enough Clarity.
Organisations that jump straight to technology procurement without understanding what they already have end up with expensive implementations that underperform.
Fragmented Data Landscapes
Data scattered across disconnected platforms with no single, assured view of estate performance. Manual workarounds fill the gaps between systems.
Systems That Don't Connect
CAFM, BMS, energy monitoring, compliance trackers and finance platforms operating in silos – generating tasks but not joined-up insight.
Compliance Blind Spots
Statutory compliance evidence dispersed across drives and repositories with no authoritative, real-time view of compliance status or remedial actions.
Knowledge Held by Individuals
Critical operational knowledge lives in people’s heads rather than in documented processes and systems, creating single points of failure.
Variable Data Quality
Operational data useful at a basic level but not reliable enough for investment decisions, compliance assurance or performance modelling.
Limited Finance-Estates Integration
Costs that cannot be reliably attributed to sites or assets, limiting asset-level cost analysis and robust investment business cases.
What the Diagnostic Evaluates
Each dimension directly influences the success of any future digital investment in your estate.
Systems Landscape
We map every core system involved in managing your estate – CAFM, BMS, energy management, space databases, compliance repositories, finance and capital project tools – assessing how each is used in practice, what data it holds, and where gaps or overlaps exist.
Data Quality & Readiness
Using our proprietary Data Readiness Level (DRL) framework, we evaluate each data source against a structured maturity scale, assessing completeness, accuracy, timeliness, accessibility and consistency to give you a clear, objective picture of where your data supports strategic decisions and where it falls short.
Organisational Readiness
We assess the people, processes and governance structures that shape how your estate is managed including leadership commitment, cross-functional collaboration, process maturity, digital literacy and reliance on individual knowledge.
Operational & Strategic Alignment
We evaluate how well your current systems and data support the outcomes that matter most: statutory compliance, maintenance effectiveness, energy performance, space utilisation, capital planning and financial visibility.
The Data Readiness Level (DRL) Scale
A structured maturity model that gives your leadership team an immediate, visual understanding of where data maturity is strong, developing, or needs urgent attention.

Common Questions
How long does the Digital Estates Diagnostic take?
The Diagnostic is typically completed within four to six weeks, depending on the scale and complexity of your estate. It is designed to be thorough yet efficient, minimising disruption to your teams.
Do we need to prepare our data before the assessment?
No. The Diagnostic works with your data and systems as they are today. In fact, understanding the current state, including gaps and inconsistencies, is precisely the point. Data quality improves through use, not through waiting.
What is the Data Readiness Level (DRL) framework?
The DRL framework is a proprietary maturity model that scores each data source on a scale from DRL 1 (opinion-based) to DRL 6 (contract-quality, audited and validated). It provides a clear, visual baseline for your leadership team and a measurable target for improvement.
How does the Diagnostic relate to the OPAL platform?
The Diagnostic is the natural entry point to OPAL. By completing it first, your organisation is positioned to adopt OPAL in a way that is tailored to your specific needs, priorities and data maturity. This ensures maximum value from day one.
Is the output suitable for board presentation?
Yes. The final report is designed to be immediately actionable and board-ready, with clear findings, prioritised recommendations and a phased improvement roadmap. We present the findings in person and facilitate discussion on priorities and next steps.
