Governed Explainable Actionable
Core and Advanced: the right level of governed AI for your institution
Data Agent Core scales organization-wide self-service. Data Agent Advanced adds power for deeper reasoning, cross-DataBlock analysis, and chart creation. Both use your trusted, governed data.
Two tiers, one foundation
Broad access for everyone. Deeper power for the people who need it.
Both tiers run on the same governed DataBlocks, MAPS permissions, and Zero Data Retention. The difference is reach and depth.

Start with Core + 2 Advanced users.
Use Core for broad governed access across campus. Assign two Advanced seats to the analysts who need multi‑DataBlock reasoning, deeper synthesis, and chart creation.
Add seats as more people prove they need the depth.
