Every metric. One definition. Traceable to the source.
Semlas helps BI teams, analytics engineers and finance teams maintain KPI definitions, data models and dependencies together.
For teams that need to explain metrics, not just build reports.
Sound familiar?
“Revenue” means something different in every report
No shared definition, endless alignment, numbers no one trusts.
Knowledge lives in sheets, wikis and people’s heads
Scattered sheets, wiki pages and one-off conversations slow down onboarding and make decisions hard to trace.
Nobody knows which definition is “the valid one”
No ownership, no review, no certification – just the Nth version in the Nth sheet.
Changes are hard to trace cleanly
When tables, fields or metrics are renamed, teams often lose the trail from definition to data source.
A shared metrics dictionary – linked to data models, fields and reports.
One dictionary for every metric
KPI definitions with status, formula, owner and review context – searchable in one place.
Definitions with a technical trail
KPIs reference tables and fields through stable IDs. Names can change while the reference stays traceable.
Dependencies at a glance
A dependency tree and ERD show which metric builds on which and which data models are affected.
Secure & tenant-isolated
Workspace scoping and roles for Admins, Editors, Reviewers and Viewers. Metadata only – no sensitive raw data.
Everything a shared understanding of metrics needs.
From the business definition to the technical trail – in one place, for the whole team.
KPI glossary
Definitions with a business description, formula, owner, status and review context – searchable and versioned.
Data models & ERD
Document tables and fields, visualize relationships as an ERD and link them to KPIs.
Lineage & stable mapping
A dependency tree shows which metric builds on which. Links attach to the metric itself, not to its name – renames stay correctly resolved.
Documentation gaps & ownership
An overview shows which metrics have no owner or description, what is stuck in draft and which data models nobody uses – with a direct jump to the spot.
Import from existing sources
Bring existing documentation over from CSV and Power BI (.bim) – including tables, relationships and DAX measures. Nobody retypes what already exists. Looker and dbt are planned.
Roles, review & isolation
Admin, Editor, Reviewer and Viewer. Drafts, approvals and deprecated definitions cleanly separated – inside a technically isolated workspace.
