Structured context for data workflows

A programmable decision layer for your data. Instructions, policies, and context as metadata for automation and agent-based systems.

Decision-grade Data Instructions

Metatate keeps business logic, policies, and access rules as structured, machine-readable instructions for platforms, agents, and workflows.

Persistent context layer

Policies, access rules, and business meaning stay with your data as versioned metadata.

Machine-readable instructions

Define conditional logic, time-based rules, and cross-system constraints to query and execute programmatically.

Automation-ready

Ask "Can this data cross regions?" or "Which attributes are safe to use for this ML feature?" and get structured, informative answers.

How It Works

Author and deploy data policies, enrich tables with business meaning, validate intended uses, and expose that context for agent workflows.

Data That Carries Its Own Instructions

Persistent context means consistent decisions across analytics, AI, and operational workflows.

Context stored in separate systems

Structured, machine-readable context attached to data

Passive documentation

Operational, decision-grade instructions

Static tags—agents infer intent

Programmable logic—agents query and execute

Rigid implementations that break with updates

Deploy once, version and evolve over time

Operational Metadata as a Decision Layer

Structured metadata that agents can parse, query, and enforce. Context moves with data, not in external documentation.

Persistent Context

Business logic, data contracts, policies, lineage, and access rules as structured, machine-readable context.

Programmable Rules

Agents evaluate dynamic business rules instead of relying on hardcoded branches or human interpretation.

Versioned & Portable

Context layers are versioned, allowing policies to evolve over time.

Built for Automation

Context that moves with your data. Agents and systems can coordinate, enforce policies, and validate compliance without manual oversight.

01

Agents understand meaning, not just structure

Agents combine data from multiple sources understanding calculations, relationships, and constraints without human translation.

02

Scale domain expertise to every decision

Systems apply complex business logic consistently across workflows.

03

Policy enforcement without bottlenecks

Governance happens automatically because agents understand constraints.
