Every modern organization is fighting a silent, costly war, not against competitors, but against itself. In The Certified Enterprise: Taming Data Anarchy in the AI Era, we expose how companies are being paralyzed by their own data. As businesses layer on more software systems, they unwittingly create conflicting versions of the truth: the Point-of-Sale system reports one sales number, the accounting software another, and the inventory system a third. This isn't just an inconvenience - it's Data Anarchy, and it's costing companies millions in wasted time, missed opportunities, and failed AI initiatives.

This book introduces a radical solution: the Metrics Governance Engine (MGE), the orchestration layer that sits above your existing technology stack to govern, not just gather - your data. Through vivid restaurant industry case studies (where operational complexity makes the problem most acute), we demonstrate how any multi-system business can transform from data chaos to certified intelligence.
