How the business talks
Definitions, caveats, policies, and team language live on the same nodes as tables and models.

Context Layer
The missing context layer for data agents.
Metroflow gives agents business context and approved metric definitions, plus the graph relationships they need to answer accurately.
Governed agent context
Three things agents need before they answer
Business knowledge, a query engine, and a headless MCP. All on the same graph.
Ask. Plan. Compile SQL.
Agents ask what to measure. Metroflow plans grain, joins, and filters on the graph, then compiles governed SQL.

Headless, lightweight
The same approved graph for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and custom MCP agents. No extra control plane.

Canonical definitions
One source of truth per KPI
MRR and churn as first-class objects with grain, owners, and lineage. Not a SQL snippet lost in a BI folder. Certification: draft → reviewed → certified.

Trust everywhere
Same number. Audit trail. No three-MRR meeting.
Looker, notebooks, agents, and APIs resolve to one certified ID. Gaps get a pipeline explanation, not a spreadsheet hunt.
Every tool, one ID
Finance updates a filter once. Every surface syncs. Rogue dashboard SQL gets flagged.
Stop dueling SQL
Product, finance, and BI stop shipping three versions of MRR. Side-by-side diff when they diverge.
Audit-ready trails
Certified MRR vs Stripe and CRM. Brain ties the delta to an event on the graph.
On the graph
If it is not a node, the agent cannot invent it
Citations go back to graph nodes. Policies travel with the metric. MCP agents, Workspace, and BI all read the same Context Layer.
