Business KPIs

Governed business KPIs your whole company can trust.

Analysts define the metrics once using approved SQL. Business leaders see live KPI cards, ask follow-up questions in plain language, and get trusted answers. No SQL access required, no raw database exposure, no analyst requests.

Designed for CEOs, COOs, PMs, finance, and operations teams who need trusted data without database access.

Live KPI cards built on approved SQL logic. No raw database access for business users.

How it works

From analyst to executive in three steps

The SQL stays with engineering. The answers reach everyone.

DataPilot KPI wizard: analyst defines metric SQL, business context, and thresholds
Analyst defines the KPI once in the wizard. Business teams use it every day.
1

Analyst defines and publishes

An analyst writes the SQL query in the workspace, adds business context and thresholds, and publishes it to the KPI catalog. The logic is versioned and approved before anyone sees it.

2

Leader sees live KPI overview

The CEO or COO opens DataPilot and sees the KPI Overview: current values, trend direction, and any active alerts. Fresh data, no spreadsheet, no SQL.

3

Ask a follow-up question

The leader asks a follow-up question in plain language. DataPilot answers using the approved KPI catalog as its source. No analyst request, no wait, no guessing.

Why different from a dashboard

Governed, conversational, and always fresh

Business KPIs in DataPilot are not static charts. They are live, queryable, and grounded in logic your team approved.

Governed

Every KPI runs on approved SQL. Analysts control what executes, how it is calculated, and who can see it.

Conversational

Business users can ask follow-up questions in plain language and get answers tied to the same approved catalog logic.

Fresh

KPI cards refresh on a schedule you define. No stale exports, no manually updated spreadsheets.

Audited

Every data access has a log entry. Your team always knows what ran, when, and what was returned.

Who uses Business KPIs

Two roles, one platform

Analysts and engineers

Define the metrics, keep the control

Use the Query Workspace to write and test SQL, add business context, set thresholds, and publish KPIs to the catalog. You decide what is available, what logic runs, and where execution happens.
