Analytics Governance Layer for In‑House BI

A SaaS governance and operations layer for teams building analytics apps in-house (e.g., Streamlit/Dash/Next.js + SQL/dbt). It adds role-based access control, metric/semantic versioning, audit trails, and change approvals across queries, datasets, and dashboards—without forcing a full enterprise BI migration. The wedge is making AI-accelerated internal builds safe and maintainable for production use.

Analytics Governance Layer for In‑House BI

A SaaS governance and operations layer for teams building analytics apps in-house (e.g., Streamlit/Dash/Next.js + SQL/dbt). It adds role-based access control, metric/semantic versioning, audit trails, and change approvals across queries, datasets, and dashboards—without forcing a full enterprise BI migration. The wedge is making AI-accelerated internal builds safe and maintainable for production use.

Target customer

Director/Head of Data or Analytics Engineering lead at SMB/mid-market companies (50–2000 employees) that are replacing or downsizing Looker/Sigma/Omni by building internal analytics apps.

Problem-solution fit

Prospects are choosing in-house builds because they’re faster/cheaper, but they still need governance/security/maintenance to avoid outages, data leaks, and metric drift. This product supplies the missing enterprise-grade controls (access, approvals, audit, lineage, environments) as a drop-in layer around existing code and warehouses, preserving the speed advantage while reducing operational risk.
