Solidatus launches AI Lineage Assistant

Solidatus launches Agentic AI Lineage Assistant to deliver data lineage in hours, not months

New agentic AI tool provides organisations with audit-ready lineage to meet the most stringent regulatory demands at speed – with full human oversight

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – March 10, 2026 – Solidatus, the data lineage platform trusted by global banks including HSBC and Deutsche Bank, today announced the Solidatus AI Lineage Assistant, an agentic AI tool that builds, enriches, and maintains data lineage across complex enterprise data estates.

Organisations across regulated industries face a growing mismatch between what regulators demand and what manual processes can deliver. In financial services alone, BCBS 239 and DORA require complete lineage across every reporting chain and system. But the pressure to demonstrate data traceability is intensifying across sectors. Manual lineage mapping takes months per project, and documentation becomes outdated almost as soon as it is written. The result is compliance gaps that can trigger remediation orders, stall transformation programmes, and increasingly, block the AI ambitions that depend on trusted, traceable data.

In response, the AI Lineage Assistant works across technical and business domains simultaneously. The Assistant stitches lineage across systems, maps physical data to business terms, enriches metadata, and flags regulatory gaps, all within a controlled safety sandbox to provide full contextual awareness of an organisation’s entire data estate. Explainable reasoning and a full audit trail let organisations demonstrate exactly what was proposed, what was approved, and when.

Unlike conventional AI assistants that only answer questions about metadata, the AI Lineage Assistant executes governance work. Users interact through natural language prompts to trace upstream dependencies, identify sensitive data flows, and act on findings. Every proposed change is visible before it moves to production, with full undo and redo controls throughout.

Stewart Bond, Vice President of IDC’s Data Intelligence and Integration Software service, said:

“As AI becomes embedded in critical business processes, audit-ready data lineage is no longer a nice-to-have, it is a foundational requirement for transparency and accountability across complex data environments. Regulators and boards increasingly expect organisations to demonstrate not just what decisions were made, but exactly what data underpinned them, where that data came from, how it was transformed, and whether it can be trusted. Delivering that level of evidence at the speed modern enterprises require means rethinking how lineage is built and maintained. Approaches that combine AI-driven automation with human validation are emerging as the practical path forward for producing lineage that is fast to generate and defensible under scrutiny.”

The AI Lineage Assistant goes beyond structured metadata, ingesting legacy PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and documentation to create interactive, queryable lineage. For organisations building AI, this enables provenance tracing back to authoritative sources, a growing requirement under the EU AI Act. The assistant can also be deployed using customers’ own enterprise LLMs, keeping metadata within their governance boundary and ensuring full data sovereignty.

“Every organisation we work with is racing to fuel their AI ambitions with complete data lineage as context, but building it manually takes months,” explained Philip Dutton, Founder and CEO of Solidatus. “Our new AI Lineage Assistant has access to the full capabilities of the most advanced metadata modeling tool in the market, enabling teams to move at the speed regulators demand without sacrificing the human oversight and accountability they require to deliver their AI ambitions at scale.”
