High-stakes tabular pipelines rely on scattered, static quality checks that are hard to evolve and audit against policy intent. Regulated domains particularly suffer as the LLM-era automation raises expectations for traceability and accountability. We propose a vision for an ontology-grounded, repository-native data quality layer in which rules are first-class artifacts: versioned, provenance-linked to governance texts, and re-playable through immutable execution traces. As a first step toward validating this vision, we present a concrete implementation of its agentic rule-discovery core with two rule acquisition modes (Full-Agentic and Guided) and a human-in-the-loop (HITL) review interface. We define an evaluation framework and run experiments addressing whether our fully autonomous, divide-and-conquer agentic rule discovery produces rules of the same quality and diversity as those specified by a human expert, reporting preliminary results on two real world industry datasets in the finance and retail domains.

Domain-specific conceptual bases use key concepts to capture domain scope and relevant information. Conceptual bases serve as a foundation for various downstream tasks, including ontology construction, information mapping, and analysis. However, building conceptual bases necessitates domain awareness and takes time. Wikipedia navigational templates offer multiple articles on the same/similar domain. It is possible to use the templates to recognize fundamental concepts that shape the domain. Earlier work in this domain used Wikipedia’s structured and unstructured data to construct open-domain ontologies, domain terminologies, and knowledge bases. We present a novel method for leveraging navigational templates to create domain-specific fuzzy conceptual bases in this work. Our system generates knowledge graphs from the articles mentioned in the template, which we then process using Wikidata and machine learning algorithms. We filter important concepts using fuzzy logic on network metrics to create a crude conceptual base. Finally, the expert helps by refining the conceptual base. We demonstrate our system using an example of RNA virus antiviral drugs.
