Why These Levels

The reasoning behind each dimension requirement.

Formality: L4

Formality L4 (regulatory calculation rules formalized), Structure L4 (regulatory reporting ontology), Integration L4 (data from 10+ source systems) . F:2, S:2, I:2 → BLOCKED. Calculation rules documented but not executable, reporting ontology incomplete, systems siloed.

Capture: L3

Formality L4 (regulatory calculation rules formalized), Structure L4 (regulatory reporting ontology), Integration L4 (data from 10+ source systems) . F:2, S:2, I:2 → BLOCKED. Calculation rules documented but not executable, reporting ontology incomplete, systems siloed.

Structure: L4

Formality L4 (regulatory calculation rules formalized), Structure L4 (regulatory reporting ontology), Integration L4 (data from 10+ source systems) . F:2, S:2, I:2 → BLOCKED. Calculation rules documented but not executable, reporting ontology incomplete, systems siloed.

Accessibility: L3

Formality L4 (regulatory calculation rules formalized), Structure L4 (regulatory reporting ontology), Integration L4 (data from 10+ source systems) . F:2, S:2, I:2 → BLOCKED. Calculation rules documented but not executable, reporting ontology incomplete, systems siloed.

Maintenance: L3

Formality L4 (regulatory calculation rules formalized), Structure L4 (regulatory reporting ontology), Integration L4 (data from 10+ source systems) . F:2, S:2, I:2 → BLOCKED. Calculation rules documented but not executable, reporting ontology incomplete, systems siloed.

Integration: L4

Formality L4 (regulatory calculation rules formalized), Structure L4 (regulatory reporting ontology), Integration L4 (data from 10+ source systems) . F:2, S:2, I:2 → BLOCKED. Calculation rules documented but not executable, reporting ontology incomplete, systems siloed.

What Must Be In Place

Concrete structural preconditions — what must exist before this capability operates reliably.

Primary Structural Lever

How explicitly business rules and processes are documented

The structural lever that most constrains deployment of this capability.

How explicitly business rules and processes are documented

  • Machine-readable regulatory report templates with field definitions, calculation rules, and submission format specifications codified as versioned structured records

How data is organized into queryable, relational formats

  • Formal taxonomy of regulatory report types, line items, and source-field mappings versioned across reporting periods

Whether operational knowledge is systematically recorded

  • Automated extraction of general ledger, loan, deposit, and position data into structured staging tables on a defined schedule

Whether systems share data bidirectionally

  • Event-driven data pipelines connecting core banking, trading, and risk systems to the reporting layer via standardized interfaces

Whether systems expose data through programmatic interfaces

  • Cross-system query capability spanning ledger, loan origination, and capital calculation systems through a unified data access layer

How frequently and reliably information is kept current

  • Automated reconciliation of report line items against source records with variance flagging and period-over-period drift detection

Common Misdiagnosis

Teams invest in report-generation tooling while source system data remains uncaptured in structured form, producing automated reports that silently inherit upstream data quality failures undetected until examiner review.

Recommended Sequence

Establish formalised field definitions and calculation rules before taxonomy of report types and source mappings, as structured taxonomies depend on formally defined source material to be meaningful.
