Lumin Data – Conversational Business Intelligence

    Interpret intent — revenue trend, account-tier filter, time range, contract + order entities
    2
    Map to your data — knowledge graph locates CRM contracts, order_lines, account hierarchy
    3
    Controlled query — SQL built from semantic subgraph, joins verified against business rules
    ● Verified answer — 23 seconds
    7 accounts show contract-value decline. Top risk: Acme Corp (−23%). Order frequency dropped 2 months before renewal.

    Before & After

    A Tuesday morning, with and without Lumin Data.

    This is the day your Finance Manager, FP&A analyst, or account lead is living right now. And what changes when they stop waiting.

    Today, without Lumin Data

    8:45am

    CFO asks for Q3 revenue by product line vs Q2

    You Slack the BI team. They're backlogged until tomorrow.

    10:30am

    BI team asks 4 clarifying questions

    Which cost centers? Which currency? Include or exclude returns?

    2:00pm

    First draft arrives, wrong filters applied

    Numbers don't match expectations. Request a correction.

    Next day

    Corrected report arrives, 26 hours later

    The board meeting was this morning. You improvised.

    With Lumin Data

    8:45am

    CFO asks for Q3 revenue by product line vs Q2

    You open Lumin Data and type the question exactly as asked.

    8:46am

    Semantic layer maps question to your ERP

    Business filters applied, joins verified, currency normalized automatically.

    8:47am

    Verified answer with full audit trail

    Numbers, sources, and semantic path. Board-ready in 2 minutes.

    9:00am

    CFO has numbers before the meeting starts

    You spent the time preparing commentary, not chasing data.

    Why Standard AI Fails

    Your data is complex. Generic chatbots weren't built for it.

    01

    Your schema wasn't designed for AI to understand

    ERP and CRM schemas grew over years. Column names are cryptic. Business logic is buried in joins no AI can infer. "Active customer" means something specific in your business. No generic AI knows what that is without the semantic layer.

    02

    Business meaning ≠ database structure

    Your CFO thinks in revenue, risk, and performance. Your systems store tables, columns, and foreign keys. There is no direct mapping between those two worlds. That gap is where every AI pilot eventually breaks.

    03

    Wrong answers that look right are worse than no answer

    AI-generated SQL runs without error and returns plausible numbers. Wrong joins, missed filters, ignored business rules. Decisions get made on confidently incorrect data. By the time someone catches it, the meeting is over.

    Our Approach

    AI must understand your business before it touches your data.

    Most AI projects fail because the path was wrong from the start. We help you design the right one before you invest in the wrong one.

    1
    Understand the Question

    Decompose what you're really asking

    Lumin Data breaks down your question into entities, filters, metrics, and timeframes before any query runs. It maps your language to business concepts, not database column names.

    • Decompose business intent
    • Identify entities and synonyms
    • Map language to concepts
    2
    Map Business to Data

    The Knowledge Graph changes everything

    The semantic layer connects how your business thinks to how your data is stored. It knows your business rules: what "active customer" means, what "revenue" includes, which joins are safe.

    • Ontology defines business concepts
    • Semantic layer maps to schema
    • Business rules enforced at retrieval
    3
    Guided AI Execution

    Verified, auditable answer every time

    SQL is generated from a structured, verified semantic path, not from prompting alone. Every answer is explainable, traceable, and consistent. The same question asked twice gets the same answer.

    • Graph-guided SQL generation
    • Controlled, repeatable outputs
    • Full semantic path for audit
    Built For Real Decisions

    Four scenarios where this changes how your team works.

    Lumin Data isn’t built for data engineers. It’s built for the people who need answers from data but have always had to go through someone else to get them.

    Finance & FP&A

    Board-ready numbers without the BI queue

    CFOs and Finance Managers ask revenue, variance, and budget questions directly. No analyst, no 2-day wait. Numbers are verified against your ERP and ready for the boardroom the moment you need them.

    Show Q3 revenue by product line vs Q2, excluding intercompany transactions

    Account Management & Sales

    Cross-system account intelligence on demand

    Account managers ask about any client in plain language and get a unified view from CRM, contracts, and order history, in seconds. No toggling between systems. No waiting for a data pull before a client call.

    Which of our top 20 accounts have declining order frequency in the last 60 days?

    Operations & Supply Chain

    One question across five operational systems

    Operations leaders ask questions that currently require four different systems and a custom report. Lumin Data crosses those systems in a single query, with business context applied automatically.

    Where are our on-time delivery rates below 90% and what's the cost per incident?

    Risk & Compliance

    Catch pattern changes before they become incidents

    Risk and compliance teams ask monitoring questions anytime, without writing a query or waiting for a scheduled report. Catch the signal before it becomes the problem that lands in a board report.

    Which supplier accounts have had payment term changes and a credit limit increase in the last 90 days?

    In Production

    Data and analytics leaders who have run this in production

    We stopped waiting two days for BI reports. The CFO now asks questions directly and gets board-ready numbers in minutes.

    CDO, European Energy Company (TSO)

    Energy / TSO Executive reporting

    The wrong-but-confident answer problem was our biggest blocker. The semantic layer fixed that before we ever went to production.

    Who It's For

    Three buyers who feel this problem every single week.

    You don't need to be technical to use Lumin Data. You just need to be tired of waiting for an answer you should be able to get yourself.

    CFO / Finance Director

    Your data team is a bottleneck. It shouldn't be.

    You need numbers fast. For the board, for investors, for decisions that can't wait two days. Lumin Data gives your finance function direct access to verified ERP answers without touching a single report.

    • Board-ready numbers on demand, no BI queue
    • Variance and forecast questions in minutes
    • Full audit trail for every figure used in reporting
    • Same question, same result, every time
    VP Sales / Account Director

    Your reps should know their accounts, not their BI tools.

    Every account question currently takes a data pull. With Lumin Data, your team asks in plain language and gets cross-system account intelligence (contract value, order history, renewal risk) in seconds.

    • Account health view without toggling systems
    • At-risk detection before the renewal conversation
    • Order trends answered before the client call
    • No SQL, no report request, no waiting
    CDO / Head of Data & Analytics

    Your BI team's time is too valuable for repetitive pulls.

    The biggest drain on your team isn't building. It's fielding the same data requests over and over. Lumin Data lets business users answer their own questions, so your team focuses on what AI can't do.

    • Business users self-serve without overwhelming BI
    • Semantic layer built once, reused across all questions
    • Validated outputs. No more "the AI got it wrong"
    • 8–12 week pilot on your real schema, real data
    Start The Right Way

    Three ways to engage — based on where you are.

    Most AI projects fail because the path was wrong from day one. We help you design the right path before you invest in the wrong one.

    Step 1 · Discover

    Discovery Workshop

    Map your highest-value question

    We review your current systems, identify the semantic gaps, and agree on where to start. You leave with a concrete architecture recommendation, not a vague roadmap. Takes half a day. No commitment required beyond that.

    Best if: you're evaluating whether this is the right approach
    Step 3 · Prove

    Focused Proof of Value

    Working prototype on your real data

    We build on your actual schema, for your actual business question. You get measurable accuracy benchmarks before committing to full delivery. If it doesn't perform against your use case, you don't proceed. That's the deal.

    Best if: you need internal sign-off before full investment
