    Executive Summary

    Your data model is the warehouse specification

    What if the dimensional model you designed also generated your load logic? Not a document that describes what the warehouse should look like, but an active asset that the platform reads to produce SCD handling, surrogate key lookups, staging layers, and load sequences automatically. That's how Centerprise works.

    Define entity types, key strategies, SCD configurations, and row identifiers in the model, and the platform generates the implementation. Change the model, and the load logic regenerates. One source of truth, from design through production.
