**Checklist ****· Exclusive** 2026-08-19 8 min read

# **Data Modeling Standards Starter Checklist**

Define naming, model layers, notation, review, versioning, metadata, lineage, reuse, and engineering handover before models diverge across teams.

Use the checklist to establish a minimum viable modeling standard that teams can apply consistently. It is suitable for new governance programmes, tool migrations, or consolidation of independently maintained models.

Decide which rules are mandatory, recommended, or domain-specific, then identify the repository and review workflow that make them enforceable.
