The webinar replay is up if you missed it. Christina Salmi (@ch1stna.bsky.social) and Matthew Mullins (@mmullins.coginiti.co) on the semantic layer imperative — 45 min + Q&A.

Let's talk about the myth of data consolidation. Many semantic layer vendors sell a story that quietly assumes your data lives in one warehouse. It doesn't. Real enterprises run 3, 5, 10+ platforms. Cloud + on-prem + lake + legacy. That's not going away.

Heading to Google Cloud Next in Las Vegas next week (Apr 22–24). If you're there and want to talk about governing business logic across BigQuery and multi-cloud environments — or just want to nerd out about semantic intelligence over coffee — reach out. Would love to connect in person.

Valerie Kwiatkowski just joined Coginiti as Director of Partnerships. Former CIO Americas at APM Terminals (Maersk), EVP IT at SDCCU, Managing Partner at StrataFusion, and Associate Partner at IBM Global Services. She's governed data at enterprise scale. Perfect fit.

"Define once, use everywhere" is a great slogan but a terrible implementation strategy. You push a metric out, and within 3 months someone says "this doesn't match our report." Fix it? Breaks downstream. Leave it? You're lying.

AI hallucinations in analytics are real: agents returning "confident" answers backed by undefined and unapproved logic. The fix isn't better AI. It's governed semantics. When your metrics are versiond, audited, and deployed with intention, your AI stops guessing. That's semantic intelligence.

We just joined the Open Semantic Interchange, an open source initiative to create a vendor-neutral standard for semantic metadata. Every tool defines metrics in its own format. OSI fixes that with one shared spec. This is what semantic intelligence needs to scale: open standards, not walled gardens.

Hot take: most enterprise AI projects will fail not because of bad models, but because of ungoverned business logic. Here's why.

We are proud to share that we have achieved three Google Cloud Ready designations for AlloyDB, CloudSQL, and Regulated & Sovereignty Solutions. Extending our ability to provide one door to data and help our customers run in compliance with programs such as FedRAMP or CJIS. bit.ly/CoginitiClou...
