What is Foundational?
Data lineage mapped automatically from source code.
Who is Foundational best for?
Foundational is best for data and governance teams at larger companies that need lineage traced from the source code itself.
Data governance teams
It builds lineage by reading source code, metadata and logs, so it sees business logic and cross-tool data movement that query-log catalogs miss.
Analytics and data engineers
Impact analysis and data contracts show what a code or data change affects, so issues are caught before they spread.
Legacy and migration projects
It covers older platforms such as Oracle, Mainframe and SAP, and the maker lists migration and modernisation as a main use.
AI governance
It traces the data behind AI models from source to model and controls who can access it.
How much does Foundational cost?
Foundational does not publish prices: every plan includes the full platform and is quoted on the size and complexity of your data environment through a contact form, and the maker states no free plan or trial.
Foundational's pricing page shows no plan names or prices, only a contact form, and says every plan includes cross-platform lineage, impact analysis, data quality, data contracts and AI governance. The quote depends on the size and complexity of your environment, and the site offers a demo rather than a trial. Plans and current prices are on foundational.io.
