## Executive Summary

Collibra sells software that catalogs an enterprise's data and AI systems, tracks their lineage, and checks them against compliance rules. Its verifiable strength is the data-governance business, where it displays Gartner and Forrester Leader placements and regulated accounts such as BNP Paribas Fortis and AXA XL run it. Collibra's current pitch, the AI Command Center for governing AI agents, shipped in May 2026 with a Giskard partnership, a Collibra/Harris Poll survey, and a forward-looking Weir Group endorsement, but the cited record names no production buyer yet. Collibra is the safe call for a regulated enterprise standardizing data governance, and weakest where a buyer scopes only agent oversight, the surface most exposed to bundling by data clouds such as Snowflake.
