At zeb, we don’t just build data systems but design environments where data can thrive. Every engagement is about helping our clients turn messy, fragmented information into clean, governed, high-quality intelligence they can rely on. And increasingly, that means combining the power of Databricks Unity Catalog with a zero-touch data quality framework that thinks, acts, and adapts on its own.
Data sprawls. It lives in clouds, silos, shadow systems, legacy warehouses. Unity Catalog brings all of that under control. It doesn’t just map where your data is; it defines who should access it, tracks how it’s used, and enforces compliance without slowing anyone down.
But governance is only one side of the coin. The other is quality, trusting that the data flowing into dashboards, machine learning models, or reports is accurate, timely, and relevant. That’s where zero-touch comes in: a framework that continuously monitors, validates, and adjusts data quality in real time, with little to no manual intervention.

Smarter pipelines by design
The journey begins with consolidation. We help clients merge their data lakes and warehouses into a single Lakehouse platform: a foundation that eliminates fragmentation and encourages collaboration. From there, data flows through the Medallion Architecture, moving from raw to refined in bronze, silver, and gold layers. Each stage adds structure, checks integrity, and prepares the data for action.
To ensure trust and reliability at every layer, we implement AI-powered monitoring. Leveraging anomaly detection algorithms such as Isolation Forest and One-Class SVM, our solutions proactively detect outliers, ensure data quality, and surface irregularities, before they impact downstream analytics or operations.
Rather than relying on static validation scripts, we define dynamic business rules. These rules, guided by Unity Catalog and machine learning models, evolve alongside the data itself. They help identify outliers, flag anomalies, and adjust expectations based on historical patterns, all without interrupting the flow.
Behind the scenes, fine-grained access control ensures that only authorized users can access or modify datasets. This governance layer, powered by Unity Catalog, enforces data security and compliance at the column, row, and table level without slowing down collaboration. In addition, the Ethical ML Model validates input data quality and monitors performance over time.
Tagging, tracking, and transparency
Every dataset gets labeled with rich business metadata. This helps teams understand not just what the data is, but where it came from, how it’s been transformed, and whether it’s safe to use for a given purpose. Lineage tracking isn’t an afterthought rather it’s embedded from the start. And when things go wrong, the system doesn’t just detect the issue; it pinpoints where and why. Root-cause analysis tools help teams correct problems upstream before they ripple downstream.
Real-world resilience
Across industries, the results are tangible. In finance, zero-touch quality ensures that transactions meet compliance requirements in real time with no lag and no surprises. In healthcare, we monitor the consistency of patient records, supporting accurate diagnoses and care. These improvements not only enhance trust and performance, they also drive cost savings and minimize downtime by catching issues early and reducing manual intervention.
Behind the scenes, smart automation handles what used to require entire QA teams. Tools like Databricks DQX and Delta Live Tables (DLT) drive this efficiency by automatically monitoring data quality, enforcing expectations, and tracking lineage in real time. Issues are resolved before users notice. Compliance audits move faster because access controls, lineage, and validation logs are already in place. There’s no drama but just dependable, transparent systems.
Better decisions, fewer surprises
When data is consistently high-quality, decisions improve across the board. Teams stop second- guessing the numbers. Models perform better. Reports become more actionable. Even collaboration improves because everyone’s working from the same trusted source.
And perhaps most importantly, people can focus on solving business problems instead of wrangling broken pipelines. That’s the real benefit of zero-touch: it creates space for teams to think strategically, instead of firefighting technical issues.
Not just possible but proven
What we’re building with our clients isn’t theoretical. It’s real, and it works. With Unity Catalog handling governance and our zero-touch quality framework monitoring everything from ingestion to impact, organizations are moving faster and working smarter with fewer resources, lower costs, and greater confidence in their data.
So yes, unicorns are real. At zeb, we build them every day. Can we build one for you?
