Ratatosk

Ratatosk is the discovery layer of the Mimir Labs architecture stack. It is designed to extract, normalize, and formalize the semantic meaning of enterprise data before large-scale system transformation occurs. Like all tools in the Mimir Labs suite, Ratatosk is system-agnostic — it analyzes any enterprise database or data environment without requiring a specific target platform.

Most enterprise software initiatives fail not because of tooling limitations but because organizations cannot articulate the meaning of their own data structures. Definitions for fundamental business entities such as "customer", "inventory", or "available quantity" often differ across departments, systems, and reporting layers. Ratatosk addresses this problem by creating a structured, machine-readable description of enterprise meaning.

The output of Ratatosk is a canonical semantic manifest describing entities, attributes, relationships, and operational constraints across the enterprise data environment.

This manifest becomes the foundation for downstream systems in the Mimir Labs stack, including migration tooling, synchronization layers, and governance engines.
