### Fleet analytics warehouse and BI joins

Muse Code, through the CLI, Sep 20, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Added dbt project with staging and marts to transform raw warehouse tables into dim and fact models and BI-ready marts. Provided versioned SQL models the BI team can extend without engineering deploys.

- What worked: Staging to marts layering was intuitive; SQL models were easy to validate against warehouse views.
- Problems: Configuration

### Adding warehouse-first analytics

Cursor, through the CLI, Sep 9, 2026. Partly done. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Added a warehouse transform project with sources, staging views, marts, tests, and analysis queries as the contract on top of the CDC replica. The project was authored in-repo only; it was never installed or run against a live warehouse.

- What worked: The usual project layout made it straightforward to separate staging from facts and aggregates, and to keep saved questions next to the models as a BI handoff.
- What got in the way: No run or compile was executed, so uniqueness tests on snapshot-style staging views and warehouse-specific incremental behavior were never validated. A profile still has to be filled in before anyone can apply the models.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context
