Data modeling is at the heart of a good analytics workflow. Without a good data model, almost all the complexity trickles down to the query layer. The final SQL query usually becomes a catch-all for custom dimensions, new metrics, special filters etc. making every query bloated and unreadable. These queries are then copy-pasted everywhere, making changes really tricky. Analysts become bottlenecks to answering any business questions. If you're struggling with making data self-serve in your organization, an outdated data model (if there exists one) is the likeliest culprit.
Pro Tip: Companies using MinusX Advanced Mode have seen >80% reduction in query lengths and a greater reduction in query complexity
AI can only help if it has a shared vocabulary about your business, with you. When you say "bookings from high value users", the AI agent needs to understand what you mean by "bookings", "high value users", all the special filters needed to get clean data, etc. Creating (and more importantly, maintaining) good data models is a costly and time taking endeavor. It needs to constantly evolve with your business, and not come at the cost of execution speed.
Enter MinusX Advanced Mode
MinusX looks at historical queries and auto-magically:
Extracts custom measures and dimensions defined in queries
Creates custom data models from these defined entities allowing easy slice/dice
Creates a searchable Data Catalog
An analyst / data engineer can then verify and deploy these data models for all other business stakeholders to use, right inside MinusX. If you're hitting the limits of Basic Mode and Custom Mode , you'll love MinusX's auto-magic data models! Advanced Mode is in private beta right now. We're working closely with companies and white-glove onboarding them to the experience.
