BI Cost Assessment
We measure your Power BI and Snowflake estate and show what to keep, merge and retire.
- Usage and duplicate scan
- Savings shown as low, likely and high
- A phased plan you can act on
Snowflake · Power BI · Microsoft Fabric
Run your data and reporting estate for less.
We find the reports, models and platform spend you no longer need. Then we rebuild what stays on Snowflake and Power BI, with the savings measured, not promised.

Where the cost hides
Reporting estates grow faster than anyone cleans them.
Reports nobody opens
Many estates keep reports no one has opened in months. Each one still refreshes, still breaks, and still needs someone to fix it.
The same number, five ways
Copies of the same report and model drift apart. People stop trusting the numbers and ask for one more report.
Bills that grow quietly
Refreshes, DirectQuery traffic and idle warehouses add Snowflake and Fabric cost that no one owns.
What we do
Three ways we help
Each one has a fixed scope and a clear result. Most clients start with the assessment.
Rationalization and semantic layer
We rebuild what stays on shared, certified models and retire the rest, with tests that prove the numbers match.
- Fewer reports and models to run
- One definition for each metric
- Safe retirement, nothing lost
AI-ready metrics
We define your core metrics as Snowflake semantic views so people can ask questions in plain words and get governed answers.
- Core metrics, defined once
- Working question-and-answer agent
- Access rules kept in place
Our method
Measure first. Then change only what the numbers support.
- Step 1
Assess
Scan reports, models, refreshes, usage and Snowflake workload. Read-only access.
- Step 2
Design
Group reports into keep, merge, retire or answer-by-question. Agree the plan with report owners.
- Step 3
Rebuild
Move what stays onto shared models and semantic views. Test every number before anything is retired.
- Step 4
Keep clean
Quarterly checks catch new duplicates and cost drift before they grow.

How much is your reporting environment really costing you?
In four weeks we measure your reports, models, refreshes and platform spend, and show where cost and complexity can come out. Fixed price, agreed up front.
