01 Analytics engineering, qualified

Every number,proven.

Qualify the numbers you depend on against independent source expectations. Keep the evidence in your environment. Share signed qualification status with your team.

Proof applies to declared checks, captured observations and current evidence. Business acceptance remains yours.

One report. A declared scope. Evidence you can trace.

Works with

  • SQL Server
  • Microsoft Fabric
  • Power BI
  • Claude Code
  • Microsoft Entra ID

02 The confidence gap

Dashboards are trusted
on faith.

01 / THE NUMBER

Numbers drift silently.

A wrong fact grain. A dropped row. A rounded value. A convincing report can hide a disagreement with its source.

02 / THE PROCESS

Manual QA doesn’t scale.

A one-off reconciliation can’t tell the next reviewer which checks still hold after the data or model changes.

03 / THE HANDOVER

Auditors can’t see inside.

A green dashboard doesn’t explain what was checked, against which expectation, or when the evidence became stale.

03 The source-to-report spine

Each layer checked.
Each check leaves a mark.

Model, build and report in your Microsoft environment. Keep an evidence trail through every declared boundary.

Customer-controlled source / Fabric / evidenceLocal qualification
  1. 01

    Source

    Establish the oracle.

  2. 02

    Model

    Define the business.

  3. 03

    Lakehouse

    Build the foundation.

  4. 04

    Semantic model

    Give every metric meaning.

  5. 05

    Report

    Make decisions clear.

  6. 06

    Receipt

    Bind the evidence.

  1. 01

    Map the source. Agree the question and freeze independently authored expectations.

  2. 02

    Ratify the model. Have a human confirm what one fact row means.

  3. 03

    Build in Fabric. Compile Bronze, Silver and Gold; review the scoped execution plan.

  4. 04

    Serve and report. Probe DAX, generate PBIR pages and capture actual queries.

  5. 05

    Qualify the scope. Recompute comparisons, bind evidence and propagate observed staleness.

  6. 06

    Share signed status. Authorise a value-free attestation push; verify the Hosted acknowledgement.

Raw receipts and business values stay in customer-controlled custody. Information shared with an external agent follows that provider’s separate controls. Each outward action has its own consent boundary.

05 Reports with a point of view

Brilliant reports
by default.

A reference frame or a disciplined 1280 × 720 canvas. Model-resolved fields, deterministic geometry and a theme that holds together.

The outcome first. Drivers and exceptions in supporting roles.

Sample / 01
  • Outcome → drivers → guardrailLead with the decision. Give its drivers context. Keep a diagnostic or exception in view.
  • Intent before coordinatesExpress bands and splits. Let the layout engine place fields within the declared frame.
  • Geometry is one checkValidate bounds and reading order; inspect queries and rendered values separately.

These five fictional schematics illustrate report design patterns. KPI hierarchy and archetypes are design guidance; a generated layout still needs human visual acceptance.

06 The receipt, explained

A result you can
read. And question.

A receipt gives a qualification its scope, supporting evidence and identity. This fictional sample shows you where to look.

  1. 1

    A state with a boundary

    Qualified means the declared required checks passed against current evidence.

  2. 2

    Scope, made explicit

    The named model, period and checks define what this result can speak for.

  3. 3

    Verdicts you can inspect

    Comparisons are recomputed against independently frozen expectations.

  4. 4

    Bound to the evidence

    Recorded artifacts and their bindings connect the claim to retained observations.

  5. 5

    Signed, with an expiry

    A signature authenticates the exact claim. It does not replace business acceptance.

Your numbers never leave your environment for the Hosted qualification ledger.

Hosted receives a value-free attestation: bounded verdicts, times and keyed commitments. Raw values, SQL/DAX, report images and local receipts are excluded. Hosted verifies the signed claim; it does not recalculate your business numbers.

Approved Fabric execution and any external agent provider remain separate processing boundaries.
