Tableau replacement —
5 charts and a query, not 50.

Custom React + Postgres + a minimal viz layer. We replicate the dashboards your team checks daily and retire the seats that nobody uses. AI-assisted SQL means your ops team can ask new questions without a ticket.

§ Where it pays

What we replace, line by line.

Most BI license bills are 80% capability you don't use. We replace the 20% you do — at a flat build cost.

Area
What we ship
What the BI tool was charging for
Charts & dashboards
Custom React + a tight viz layer (Recharts, D3) sized to your real needs · 5 charts, not 50
Tableau / Looker / PowerBI seat licenses · features 80% of users never touch
Data layer
Direct on Postgres / Snowflake / BigQuery · cached where it pays, real-time where it matters
BI tool's extract/refresh model · stale data + license overhead
Ad-hoc queries
AI-assisted SQL — your ops team types "show me orders by region last quarter" and gets a chart
"Ask the analytics team" or wait for the next BI sprint
Permissions
Tied to your existing auth (Auth0, Clerk, your own) — same SSO, same roles, no separate user pool
Per-seat licenses · BI-tool-specific permission model to maintain
Embeds
Stand-alone or drop-in iframe / web-component into your existing customer-facing app — no white-label fee
Tableau Embedded / Looker Embed pricing tier

§ Process

Inventory → replicate → cutover → extend.

  1. [01] · Inventory

    We catalog every dashboard, view, and saved report in your current BI tool. Talk to the actual users — figure out which 5 they check daily versus the 50 nobody opens. The 5 are what we build; the 50 die with the contract.

  2. [02] · Replicate

    Schema mapped against your warehouse. Charts built in React with the same layout your team is used to. AI-SQL endpoint wired to a constrained schema for safe ad-hoc queries.

  3. [03] · Cutover

    Run alongside the BI tool for 2–4 weeks. Side-by-side number reconciliation. Once your team trusts the new dashboard, you cancel the BI seats.

  4. [04] · Extend

    Optional: add embedded reporting in your customer-facing app, alerting on threshold breach, or scheduled email/Slack summaries. All without a BI vendor in the loop.
