Case Study, Sniffspot

How Sniffspot's fractional CDO cleaned up 1,798 Metabase questions in 2 hours

Sniffspot is a marketplace that lets dog owners book private spots to exercise their dogs, ~$6M GMV across 2.1M reservations. No in-house data team. When Nick Valiotti joined as fractional CDO, the Metabase had 1,798 saved questions across 5 databases, 69 dashboards, and 23 contributors. No governance, no docs, no way to find anything. MetaLens ran a full X-Ray in 90 seconds, surfaced 94 duplicate groups and 901 stale queries, and the Builder and Chat agents rebuilt the dashboards leadership actually needed, all inside the first engagement week.

"Gave me the full audit I would've built as a fractional CDO in 2 weeks, in 90 seconds. Then the Builder Agent actually created the dashboards I would have recommended."

People + Platform

The MetaLens Sprint: fractional CDO, delivered in 2 weeks

The platform alone replaces a data analyst. The Sprint replaces 3 months of consulting. We come in as your fractional data team, run the full MetaLens platform against your stack, and ship governance, metric trees, and the first 3 production dashboards in 10 working days.

Week 1

Audit + Align

Full X-Ray across every Metabase instance. Ownership map, duplicate cleanup plan, metric tree aligned to your North Star. You end the week with a governance backlog a board can read.

Week 2

Build + Ship

Builder Agent drafts the top 3 dashboards your execs have been asking for. Chat Agent rewrites broken queries. Catalog and Search go live for the whole team.

Ongoing

Platform + Office Hours

MetaLens stays running after we leave. Your team gets the same 8 agents that powered the Sprint, plus monthly office hours with the fractional CDO team.

Starting from $12,000 for the 2-week Sprint. Platform subscription included for the first 3 months. Limited to 2 Sprint engagements per month, run by Nick Valiotti (Sniffspot Fractional CDO).

The pipeline that powers the Sprint

Each agent handles one link in the chain: connect, find problems, surface context, act, verify. Together they collapse a 3-month CDO engagement into a 10-day Sprint, or run on autopilot once we're gone.

X-Ray

Full instance audit in 2 minutes. Health score, duplicates, broken queries, ERD.

Docs

Auto-generated data dictionary. Business context, glossary, relationships.

NEW

Catalog

Browse every question and dashboard. Filter by creator, freshness, views. Spot stale content fast.

NEW

Search

Vector-powered semantic search. Find queries by meaning, not keywords.

Chat

NL to SQL, plus cleanup co-pilot. Ask 'which duplicates should I merge first?' and get a ranked fix plan.

Builder

Describe a dashboard, AI generates SQL, you verify, then deploy back to Metabase.

NEW

Metric Tree

Hierarchical graph from North Star to leaf metrics. Edit, share, export.

Gap

Find missing dashboards by C-level role. Catches reporting blind spots.

Review

Card ID or raw SQL, AI code review with score 1-10, issues, optimization suggestions, rewritten query.

Every change deploys back to your Metabase, with a verification pass.
Just shipped

Three new agents that make MetaLens a platform

Catalog, semantic search, and metric trees turn an audit tool into a full analytics governance system. Live for every plan.

Catalog Agent

Browse everything

Every question and dashboard with views, creator, last-used date, and freshness status. Filter by stale to find content that should be archived.

  • Status badges: active / infrequent / stale
  • Filter by creator, collection, freshness
  • Sort by views, last used, created
Search Agent

Find by meaning

Vector-powered semantic search across all questions and dashboards. Type "subscription churn" and find queries even if they're named differently.

  • OpenAI embeddings + pgvector
  • GUI builder queries compiled to SQL
  • Built into AI Chat as context
Metric Tree Agent

Strategy view

AI-generated hierarchical graph from your North Star down through drivers to leaf metrics. Editable, versioned, shareable to anyone with a public link.

  • 40-60 metrics across 6-9 categories
  • ReactFlow viewer with drag and edit
  • Public share links for stakeholders

Chat Agent

Query

Ask questions in plain English — get verified SQL, execute it, save results back to Metabase. Schema-aware with full conversation memory and context attachments.

AI Chat generating SQL from natural language

Gap Agent

Strategy

Analyzes your data model against industry best practices by C-level role. Identifies missing dashboards, blind spots, and untapped data. One-click 'Build' sends gaps straight to Builder Agent.

For developers

Tag your bot. Get answers.

Every agent has REST API access via Bearer tokens. Install the OpenClaw skill in one command and tag your bot in Slack or Telegram with natural language: "find queries about churn", "what's the X-Ray grade today?", "generate a metric tree for marketplace".

# Install in any Claude Code agent
