Intelligence Pillars
Three Vectors of Optimization
Each pillar targets a distinct FinOps surface area — from pipeline attribution to slot economics.
BigQuery Provenance & Attribution
Composer-to-Query Tracing
Deep tracing from Cloud Composer DAGs to every BigQuery job. Identify the exact DAG task driving your GCP bill — trace which pipeline generated a $200 full-table scan.
100%
Cost Attribution
DAG→SQL
Full Traceability
- Composer Origin → Task ID → Query Hash
- Service Account vs. Human cost split
- Pipeline ROI scoring per DAG
GCP-Native SQL Refactoring
BigQuery Partitioning Audits
Detect partitioning bypasses and cluster key gaps to reduce BigQuery scan volume by 80%. Get AI-suggested SQL rewrites that eliminate "Heavy Scanners" from your GCP bill.
80%
Scan Reduction
< 2min
Analysis Time
- Partition filter bypass detection
- Cluster key utilization scoring
- AI-driven SELECT rewrite suggestions
BigQuery Slot Economics
GCP Reservation Right-Sizing
Right-size your GCP BigQuery reservations in the Montreal Vault for maximum efficiency. Identify idle slot capacity, contention peaks, and optimize sovereignty-compliant workloads.

Region Optimized
- Slot utilization heatmaps by hour
- Contention bottleneck identification
- Right-sizing recommendations for reservations
