Two dashboards.$28.9M apart.
Both teams reported “weekly revenue.” MetricGuard inspected the SQL behind the dashboards, found the semantic conflict, and executed both definitions against Postgres to prove the business impact.
The SQL looked almost identical. One missing predicate changed the business.
SELECT DATE_TRUNC('week', order_date), SUM(total_amount) FROM metric.orders GROUP BY 1
SELECT DATE_TRUNC('week', order_date), SUM(total_amount) FROM metric.orders WHERE order_status NOT IN ('canceled', 'returned', 'disputed') GROUP BY 1
Not an LLM opinion. Both definitions were executed.
Cumulative absolute disagreement across the recorded comparison window.
Evidence becomes organizational memory. A human still decides.
Three weekly-revenue definitions found across Finance, Executive BI, and Sales Ops.
Semantic differences and warehouse divergence recorded as deterministic evidence.
The agent proposes Finance as canonical. Nothing writes until a person approves.
Seven approved governance actions were live-verified in DataHub: tags, properties, descriptions, and a decision document.
