Is this the same as data readiness?

Readiness is the go or no-go. Data foundations is the architecture. If the context layer is missing, you still get a readiness note, not a build.

Do you move the graph into MuleSoft?

No. We front it. The store of record stays the store of record.

Data foundations

Context before agency.

The first week is in the org, reading what already exists. Data Cloud grounds the agent. Agentforce acts. Graph and vectors hold memory. MuleSoft fronts the stores it does not own. The honest no: if the work is a software factory with a named delivery date, we are the wrong partner.

Data readiness

Split

Context is not agency. Memory is not the warehouse.

Agentforce · Or a custom runtime when the desk is elsewhere

Public data foundations for agents. Data Cloud or clean Knowledge is context. Agentforce is agency. Graph and vectors are memory. MuleSoft fronts the calls. The store of record stays the store of record.

Memory

Relationships in a graph. Similarity in a vector store.

MuleSoft can query both. It does not become the graph engine or the warehouse.

Lineage

Pick a lineage system. We will say which.

Informatica, Data Cloud, or the metadata tool you already run. Two lineages for the same field is a finding.

Failure modes

Three ways this stalls before the agent ships.
