From mart back to source
Follow any table upstream through staging to the source query, hop by hop, without opening a single black box.
The builders generate your models from the documented logic, as readable code. Step from any mart table back through staging to the source query, with the transformation in plain sight and mapped to the legacy asset it replaced.
The builders turn the knowledge base into real models, written to your conventions. Paired with the lineage graph, you can move from a column in a mart, to the model that builds it, to the source query it started from, all in readable code.

The transformations are documented and linked, so the path from raw to report is something you can walk, not just trust.
Follow any table upstream through staging to the source query, hop by hop, without opening a single black box.
Transformations are readable code, generated from documented behavior, not an opaque export you cannot maintain.
Each model references the package or procedure it replaced, so the new build and the old one stay connected.
It lives in version control and the docs site, so a change is reviewable and the history is yours.
In dbt the compiled SQL and its docs come for free; in your own framework we generate equivalent, readable code into it, which is extra effort on our side, and you keep it either way. dbt or your framework →
Yes. Every model is plain, readable SQL (or your framework’s code), generated from the documented behavior. You can open any mart and read exactly how it is built.
Each generated model carries a reference to the legacy asset it came from, so you can step from a new table to the SSIS package or stored procedure it replaced.
It is written to your layer conventions and naming, so it looks like code your team would have written, not an export. That is the point: you can maintain it. See everything you keep →
The estate assessment shows how the fleet would rebuild a representative slice of your estate, in code you can read and maintain, before you commit.
