**Stack:** Fabric · Power BI · Synapse · Purview

## The situation

The numbers in the board deck never reconcile to the numbers in the warehouse. Everyone has their own definition of “active customer.”

## The problem

Data lives in every system and agrees in none. Reports are hand-built, definitions drift by department, and the person who understands the spreadsheet is on vacation when the board meets.

Self-serve BI without governance made it worse: more dashboards, more versions of the truth.

## Solved looks like

- A governed lakehouse on Fabric with defined, documented metrics — one place where “revenue” means one thing.
- Power BI dashboards executives actually open, refreshed automatically, secured by role.
- Lineage and access control through Purview, so the auditor's questions have answers.
