Yes, I’ve been working on this and you need a clear semantic layer.

If there are multiple paths or perceived paths to an answer, you’ll get two answers. Plus, LLMs like to create pointless “xyz_index” metrics that are not standard, clear, or useful. Yet i see users just go “that sounds right” and run with it.

Absolutely. We make it obvious to the user when a query/chart is using a non standard metric and have a fast SLA on finding/building the right metric.

It only works because all of the data looks the same between customers (we manage ad platform, email, funnel data).

So if we make an “email open rate” metric, that’ll amortize to other customers.
