The world that was
Metadata management platforms cataloged and governed data for human analysts. AI agents weren't part of the design, and now every agent is guessing at context nobody compiled for it.
The shift
Agents don't just read dashboards. They generate SQL, cite figures, and act on definitions that used to live only in a person's head. Guessing at context, silently, is now a production risk.
Why patching fails
Two common fixes, and where each one stops short.
Runtime semantic layers
A new dependency sitting in the query path, not a fix for the underlying disagreement.
Document-inferred ontology graphs
Aggregated and described, but not enforced anywhere downstream.
The architecture
Compiled context: definitions resolved once, at compile time, and pushed into every system and every agent that consumes them. Deterministic, not inferred. Request a demo to see how it's built.
