The DataStack Blueprint: Closing data divides, enhancing financial sector supervision, and driving innovation through the open data commons

The DataStack, introduced and elaborated on in our more detailed report, is both (a) a map detailing necessary factors in creating equitable real-world solutions for the increasing data divide in the digital realm, and (b) a blueprint for combining technical tools into a layered architecture to enable such solutions. We present a particularly strong case for this approach in the supervision of financial sectors and in the innovation of digital financial services and are also actively exploring further avenues for impact beyond finance, including climate action, pandemic response, and more.
