The four questions this page answers

  1. 1

    What you buy

    A question box over your own reporting data, where a manager types what they want to know and gets a figure or a chart back together with the query that produced it, so the number can be checked.

  2. 2

    What you get

    6 deliverables, listed in full below

    • A working question interface over your reporting data
    • A written data dictionary you own and can extend
    • A validation report covering 30 known-answer test questions

What is this, in plain English?

A question box over your own reporting data, where a manager types what they want to know and gets a figure or a chart back together with the query that produced it, so the number can be checked.

The important part is that it shows its working. It runs against a read-only reporting copy of your data, never the live system, and every answer exposes the query so a person can verify it before quoting the number to anyone. It complements a conventional dashboard rather than replacing one: dashboards answer the questions you knew you would ask, this handles the ones you did not.

The problem it solves

Every ad-hoc question about the numbers becomes a request to the one person who can write the query, so managers either wait three days or make the decision without the figure.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

What does it do?

Everything listed here is delivered as part of this product. Nothing on this list is aspirational.

  • Connected to one read-only reporting database or warehouse
  • Plain-English questions answered with a figure, table or simple chart
  • The generated query shown with every answer, so it can be checked
  • A documented data dictionary defining every field the assistant may use
  • Row and column restrictions so sensitive fields are never queryable
  • Saved questions your team can rerun without retyping
  • A query log showing who asked what and which query ran

How it works

The delivery sequence from order to handover.

  1. 1

    Prepare a reporting copy

    We work against a read-only copy or existing warehouse, so nothing the assistant does can touch production.

  2. 2

    Write the data dictionary

    Every table and field is defined in business terms, which is what stops the answers being subtly wrong.

  3. 3

    Set the boundaries

    We restrict which fields and rows are queryable, and agree what must never be exposed.

  4. 4

    Validate against known answers

    We test 30 questions where you already know the correct figure and compare, then fix the definitions that caused misses.

  5. 5

    Release with the query visible

    It goes live with the query shown on every answer, and we brief managers to check it before quoting a number.

Delivery & fulfilment

Stream Edge Solutions ships nothing. Every package on this site is carried out and handed over remotely — this is exactly what happens after you order.

REMOTE SERVICEHow this is delivered
  1. 1We confirm requirementsWe read what you sent with the order, come back in writing with anything missing, and agree the scope before any chargeable work starts.
  2. 2We build and configure remotelySetup, configuration and testing are done by our team over a remote connection — on your systems or on ours, whichever the package specifies.
  3. 3We hand it overYou receive the working setup, the credentials, the documentation and a walkthrough. Everything built for you is yours at handover.

Carried out remotely by our team. Nothing is posted and no one visits. Typical turnaround: 4–5 weeks from database access and agreement of the data dictionary.

Expected delivery time

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • A reporting database, warehouse or read-only replica we can connect to
  • Someone who can define what each table and field actually means
  • 30 questions where you already know the correct answer, for validation
  • A list of fields that must never be exposed
  • An AI provider account in your business name

Who this is for

  • Managers who need occasional numbers outside the standard reports
  • Businesses with a data warehouse or reporting database already in place
  • Finance and operations teams making frequent ad-hoc requests
  • Companies where reporting depends on one technical person

Business needs this addresses: Automate work, Improve operations

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • AI model and API usage per question asked, billed to your own account by the provider
  • Any guarantee that a generated query is correct: it can misinterpret a question or use the wrong field, which is why the query is always shown and why figures must be checked before being relied on
  • Any financial, statutory or regulatory reporting, and any figure presented to a bank, auditor or regulator without independent verification by a qualified person
  • Fixing the underlying data: incomplete or inconsistent records produce misleading answers regardless of the assistant
  • Warehouse, database and hosting costs, paid to those providers
  • Write access of any kind to your systems, which we deliberately do not configure

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

Can I trust the numbers it gives me?

Not without looking at the query, which is why we show it on every answer. The assistant translates a question into a query, and it can pick the wrong field, miss a filter or misread an ambiguous question while still returning a confident-looking figure. Use it to get to a number quickly, then check the query before that number goes into a decision, a board pack or anything external.

Can it change or delete our data?

No. It connects with read-only credentials to a reporting copy or warehouse, and we do not configure write access under any circumstances. Field and row restrictions further limit what it can even read. That boundary is part of the build rather than a setting somebody can casually flip later.

Where does our business data go?

The data dictionary, the question text and the result rows needed to phrase an answer are sent to your chosen AI provider; the bulk of your database is not. We configure against the provider terms you hold with no-training options enabled where offered, and restricted fields are excluded from the dictionary entirely so they cannot be referenced. You remain the data controller throughout.

What if our data model changes after launch?

The data dictionary needs updating whenever tables or fields change, otherwise answers degrade quietly rather than failing loudly. The first 30 days of corrections are included and after that dictionary maintenance is quoted, or covered by the review add-on. This is the main ongoing cost of the product and we would rather set that expectation now than after the first bad quarter.

Refund & cancellation

What happens if you change your mind, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.
