Not Just a Pipeline, A Promise: Vellum’s Principles of Data Stewardship

Fidelity First

• We ingest everything. No record is silently dropped. Every row of data is accounted for.
• We preserve granularity. No hidden summaries or destructive transformations.
• We standardize for use. Data enters our canonical model clean, complete, and analytics-ready.

Quality with Control

• Customers define ‘good data’. Our platform empowers them to tune validation rules and thresholds to fit their business.
• No silent passes. No silent fixes. Every issue is flagged, never inferred.
• We enhance progressively. The path to perfect data shouldn’t block value today.

Stewardship, Not Ownership

• We don’t own data, our clients do.
• We validate completeness, not guess it. Our role is to measure against customer-defined manifests and rules.
• We focus on the foundation. Premium, claims, and policies, ready for actuarial, finance, and risk analytics.
• Our pipeline is deterministic and auditable. Run the same file twice, get the same result, every time.

Built for Trust

• Reliability is non-negotiable. High availability and performance are built in.
• Security by design. Data protection is baked into every layer of our system.
• Retention is purpose-driven. Our clients control what stays, and for how long.

A(i) Living Commitment

We consider these principles a living framework,  one we refine and evolve with our partners to meet the complex, high-stakes demands of modern insurance. Whether you’re a carrier, reinsurer, or investor, we believe trustworthy data is the foundation of real innovation in this space.

Vellum is proud to be a steward of that trust. Want to learn more about how we define and defend data quality? Schedule a demo.
