Platform. Semantic Manager

Your organization's knowledge.
Governed, maintained, and trusted.

Define your KPIs, resolve conflicts, monitor drift, and give every team (and every AI) a single governed source of truth.

Not a catalog.
A control plane.

Most enterprises try to govern data meaning through a mix of documentation, wiki pages, dbt descriptions, and word of mouth. It works, until a business event changes a definition and there's no system that knows.

The Semantic Manager is the workspace where your semantic layer is built, maintained, monitored, and kept accurate over time. Not a one-time export. A living governance environment.

Without LazyFox With Semantic Manager
Markdown files in scattered folders
Versioned definitions in a governed workspace
Conflicts discovered after AI errors
Conflicts flagged before any definition is saved
Engineers approve PRs that business wrote
Business owns definitions in a tool they can use
No visibility into semantic drift
Real-time health map across all semantic units
One definition that everyone interprets differently
Domain- and role-specific views from one source

Everything you need to
govern meaning at enterprise scale.

Six capabilities, built to work together, from initial definition capture through continuous drift detection and team collaboration.

📐

KPI & Metric Management

Create, cluster, and version your critical semantic units. KPIs, metrics, business rules, domain terms. Every definition carries its logic, applicable scope, and full change history. Business events update definitions, not orphan them.

Versioned · Scoped

Conflict Detection & Validation

Every definition is checked against your existing knowledge base before it's saved. Overlapping definitions, contradictory logic, ambiguous terms, flagged immediately, with plain-language explanations. This is how you stop hallucinations at the source.

Pre-save · Automatic
🔍

Domain & Role-Based Context

Finance, marketing, and sales don't always agree on what "revenue" means. Define domain-specific and role-specific interpretations of the same underlying metric, without forking models. Every AI query knows which interpretation applies.

Multi-perspective · No forks

Semantic Health Map

A visual overview of your semantic layer, where definitions are solid, where conflicts exist, where drift is occurring. Think uptime monitoring, but for the meaning layer of your AI stack. Spot blind spots before they reach production.

Drift Detection & Monitoring

Semantic drift happens when the world changes and your knowledge layer doesn't. LazyFox monitors usage signals, how queries are phrased, where users push back, what gets corrected, and surfaces drift as it emerges, not after damage is done.

Continuous · Signal-driven
🤝

Collaboration & Approval Workflows

Anyone can propose a definition or flag a conflict. Approvals, edit rights, and visibility are configurable at the unit, group, or role level. No emailing engineers to merge a PR that a business analyst wrote. Governance the whole organization can participate in.

Team-wide · Configurable
Semantic Manager. KPI Editor
KPI Name
Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
Definition
Sum of all active subscription revenue in a given calendar month, excluding one-time fees and trial conversions not yet invoiced.
Domain Scope
Finance · Revenue Operations
Conflict detected before saving
Overlaps with "MRR" in the Sales domain, which includes trial conversions. Saving will create an ambiguity across 3 connected AI queries.
Ambiguity flagged
"Calendar month" is undefined. Specify whether this is period-end, period-start, or average. Finance controller view may differ from board reporting.

Catch ambiguity before it reaches your AI.

When two people define the same KPI differently, AI doesn't pick the right one, it picks whichever has the higher probability in the vector database. That's where hallucinations come from. Not missing data. Conflicting definitions stored in the same space.

Every time a semantic unit is created or edited, the Semantic Manager validates it against your full knowledge base before it's saved. Conflicts must be resolved. Ambiguities can be acknowledged or refined. Nothing lands without passing a gate.

  • Overlapping definitions flagged with plain-language explanations
  • Ambiguous terms prompted for clarification at authoring time
  • Conflicts prevented from reaching the vector store, not cleaned up after
  • Every resolution tracked, attributed, and auditable

See the state of your knowledge, at a glance.

The health map gives you a visual overview of your semantic layer. Not just what you've defined, but how it's holding up. Where usage is high. Where drift is emerging. Where conflicts have gone unresolved.

Most organizations have no visibility into the health of their semantic layer. They find out something is wrong when an AI query returns a wrong answer. LazyFox shows you the signal before that happens.

One workspace.
Multiple stakeholders.

The Semantic Manager is built for the whole organization, not just the data team. Every role gets what they need without stepping on each other's work.

Self-service
🏢
Business Operations
Own metric definitions for their domain. No code required. Governance in the language of the business, not the warehouse.
Ownership
🤖
AI & ML Teams
Feed governed, conflict-free context into LLM queries and agentic workflows. Deterministic answers, not probabilistic re-derivation.
Reliability

Governed meaning, available everywhere your data is consumed.

Every definition you manage in the Semantic Manager flows into all connected systems, consistently, without sync jobs or manual export.
