Licensing FAQ

Common questions about how Duodata licensing works.

What is a Metric Steward?

A Metric Steward can create, edit, approve, publish, or administer metric definitions.

Are metric definitions capped?

No. Free, Teams, and Enterprise allow metric definitions to grow inside Duodata. Enterprise governed-object capacity applies to metrics, slices, reports, and sources included in the Enterprise governed content set.

What is a governed object?

A governed object is a metric, slice, report, or source included in the Enterprise governed content set. Governed implementation links are tracked separately and do not count against governed-object capacity.

What is a Data Platform Connector?

A connector automates sync, deployment, validation, deep links, and drift workflows for supported platforms.

What is AI Connector?

AI Connector gives Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, custom agents, and automation workflows access to governed metric context through MCP/API/CLI interfaces. AI Connector is built into every plan: Free, Teams, and Enterprise. Enterprise includes 50,000 AI Metric Resolutions per year. Free and Teams use AI Resolution Packs (prepaid capacity) or pay-as-you-go.

Can an executive be the owner without logging in?

Yes. Business owners and executives can be assigned as metric owners for governance and accountability without ever logging in. Ownership is a metadata attribute, not a login requirement.

Where do business users see the benefit if they never log in?

Business users benefit from consistent, governed metrics surfaced in their BI tools, AI assistants, and reports. They consume the output without needing to access Duodata directly.

Is Duodata a data catalog?

No. Duodata is a business-approved metrics layer. It focuses on metric definitions, ownership, lifecycle, and governance, not on cataloging tables and columns. It complements your existing catalog by providing the business-approved metric context.
