CEDX Insight · Data & Analytics
Insight is the governed metric layer for the estate: 320 certified metrics, an Ask screen that answers in plain language and prints the SQL it ran, and dashboards whose owners, tiles and view counts are on the record.
Every answer card on the Ask screen ends the same way — “How was this calculated?” — and opens the generated SQL. A number you can interrogate is a number you can defend.
Runs on demo data — the header says “demo seed” on the screen itself.
What it is
The Ask screen answers “Why did net revenue drop last week?” with $4.20M, down 4.2% — and attributes it to EU wholesale and the promo channel, “not a definition change”. Below the answer: the generated SQL, the freshness stamp and the metric owner.
44 open drift items sit on the overview next to an average freshness of 18.1h against a 4-hour metric SLA and a 44% cache hit rate. The alerts arrive root-caused: semantic model v4 changed credit allocation on Aug 12, and the net revenue alert says so.
42 dashboards carry domain, owner, tile count, 30-day views and status on every row — Executive pulse at 2.4K views published, Working capital archived at 2.3K. Published, draft, scheduled and archived are filter chips, not guesses.
Product tour
Not a mockup and not a concept deck. This is what opens at /app/insight.
01 — Overview
320 active metrics, 17 published boards of 42, $4.8K weekly query spend, 44 open drift. The BI health ring reads 68, and the alert list underneath explains itself: net revenue −4.2% vs baseline — why: semantic model v4 changed credit allocation on Aug 12.
02 — Ask
148 questions a day across workspaces, 96% grounded in governed metrics, 3.2s median answer time. The answer card for net revenue shows the metric chip net_revenue at −4.2%, a freshness stamp of 2h and the owner — FP&A.
03 — Dashboards
Executive pulse leads at 2.4K views over 30 days with 14 tiles; Warehouse ops carries 22; Churn autopsy 23. The same table shows archived boards still pulling views — Working capital at 2.3K — so retirement is an evidence decision.
Who runs it
Roles, not references. We have no named customers yet, so nobody in these photographs is quoted, credited or claimed as one.
Owns the certified definitions. When net revenue moves 4.2%, the answer card names them as owner and the drift queue says whether it was the business or the definition.
net_revenue · −4.2% w/w
Watches freshness and spend: 18.1h average against a 4h SLA, $4.8K a week in queries, and the waste-query list that says which of the 320 earn their keep.
freshness 18.1h · SLA 4h
Keeps the 320-metric catalog governable — definitions, domains and certification — so the Ask screen has something solid to ground against.
catalog · 320 metricsThe shape of it
Every figure below is legible in the captures above. Nothing here is a projection of your estate — it is the state of the demo data.
How it runs
A metric enters the catalog with a definition, a domain and an owner — 320 of them, 92 in revenue alone.
Questions run against the governed layer: interpret, generate SQL, answer with freshness and owner attached.
Drift, freshness and spend are scored continuously; a definition change raises a root-caused alert, not a mystery dip.
Boards move from draft to published with owners and view counts following them — and stale boards get archived on evidence.
One record
Insight is not a chart tool with an import button. The 320 metrics are the estate's shared definitions — the same numbers the warehouse stores, reports deliver and embeds render.
The 320 metrics and the SQL the Ask screen prints execute against the managed warehouse — freshness SLA and all.
CEDX ReportsPublished boards become scheduled packs: a board at 2.4K monthly views is a delivery candidate, and Reports tracks whether it arrives stale.
CEDX EmbeddedAnswer cards and tiles from the catalog ship inside other products — 30 answer embeds handled 63K questions in 30 days on the demo estate.
CEDX CopilotAsk AI — ⌘J — sits on every Insight screen; the assistant reads the same governed catalog rather than inventing numbers.
Limits
Finding this out on the third call is worse for you than reading it here, and worse for us.

Questions
Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build, and you can open the same build at /app/insight. It runs on demo data, which the header states on screen rather than in a disclaimer.
From the governed semantic catalog, and only from it — 320 metrics in scope, stated on the Ask screen. The answer card for net revenue names the metric (net_revenue), its freshness (2h) and its owner (FP&A), and prints the generated SQL underneath.
It raises drift, not confusion. When semantic model v4 changed credit allocation on Aug 12, the overview raised a root-caused alert tying the net revenue move to that change — “boards still use mixed grain” — rather than letting the number quietly shift.
Yes. Every board carries 30-day views: Executive pulse at 2.4K published, Working capital at 2.3K archived and still being read. Retirement and promotion decisions get made from the same table.
No certification has been issued. What we can evidence about hosting, encryption, tenant isolation and production access is written up on the security page.
