depa digital-startup and Thailand Digital Valley ecosystem: data-readiness checklist

The recovered public-source record states: depa is advancing the Digital Startup Fund and the Thailand Digital Valley ecosystem. It confirms only the described event, not that a company has obtained eligibility, approval, benefit or a compliance conclusion.

Define the business use case and boundary first. State the decisions, legal entities and systems in scope, and use one genuine startup project or ecosystem application as the rehearsal case; keep any unsupported state as unconfirmed.

Create a data catalogue covering at least startup and legal entity, project or application, eligibility evidence, assessment state, milestone, budget and spend, service record and outcome evidence. Give every field a business definition, format, system source, accountable function, update timing and acceptable evidence.

Standardise identifiers for entities, counterparties, documents, projects or transactions, retaining aliases and historical versions. Do not merge on names alone or overwrite a version referenced by past activity.

Map every state in opportunity identification → project or application record → evidence review → internal decision → milestone → spend and evidence → outcome review to its source document, owner and timestamp, with a visible queue for missing, conflicting, stale or unauthorised data.

Test completeness, consistency, timeliness and traceability on a small sample and record gaps instead of inventing values. Expand only after operations, finance and IT sign off the boundary.
