Your AI Agent Used a Retired Metric Definition. Did It Tell You?

Across 9,000 single-turn SQL questions, ClariLayer's governed envelope produced canonical-with-rejection on 297/360 Drift calls (82.5%) vs 0-1 across the four non-governed baselines.

The ClariLayer Trust Benchmark v1: A 2,136-Call Study of AI Accuracy

AI agents writing SQL against your warehouse get definitional questions wrong 91-99% of the time. We built an 89-question benchmark to measure it.

The Context Gap — three isometric data layers representing warehouse, semantic layer, and context layer

The Context Gap: Why Warehouses and Semantic Layers Aren't Enough

Your warehouse computes numbers. Your semantic layer queries them. But who governs what metrics mean? Meet the context layer — the missing third layer.

What ClariLayer Does (And What It Does Not)

ClariLayer is not a warehouse, not a semantic layer, and not a wiki. It is the context layer — the missing piece that captures meaning, ownership, and trust for business metrics.

Why AI Agents Need a Context Layer

AI agents are making autonomous decisions based on metric definitions. But no tool captures the business context they need to act responsibly. This is the context layer gap.

Why Your Metrics Need a Context Layer

Data warehouses tell you how a number is computed. But your AI agents need to know what it means, who owns it, and whether they should trust it.
