DATA & INTEGRATIONS

Good analysis starts with a clear connection.

Explore what is available, understand the operation you can perform and keep access under control.
PRODUCT IN DEVELOPMENT
Metric Stone BI is being developed by Index Forward. The interfaces shown use synthetic data. Commercial availability, hosted access and public downloads have not been announced.
IMPLEMENTED DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITIES

Files, with structure.

Approved CSV, Parquet, Excel .xlsx, JSON and JSONL files support inspection and persistent dataset references. Reviewed compatible file collections retain provenance and require deliberate membership refresh.
Excel worksheet and JSON record-path selection are explicit. Formulas, macros and external references do not execute. This is approved source access, not a general browser upload service.

Relational, with authority.

PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL support approved metadata and table inspection, with separately governed native read-only SQL workflows.
Inspection datasets do not automatically become complete analytical inputs. Saved SQL and eligible file results follow their own current authority and completeness checks.
CLOUD FILES

Read approved objects.

Read-only Amazon S3, Azure Blob and Google Cloud Storage adapters support approved files and reviewed collections in trusted development. Provider-specific identity and revision rules apply.
Local protocol and emulator evidence does not certify real cloud accounts, provider IAM or production security.
REST JSON

Inspect a bounded response.

Approved GET-only REST JSON connections support configured authentication, bounded pagination, visual mapping and live inspection-only datasets.
REST inspection samples cannot supply complete model, chart or preparation analytics. Arbitrary endpoint registration and write operations are not supported.
WAREHOUSE ADAPTERS / QUALIFIED STATUS

Implemented adapters. Explicit qualification.

BigQuery GoogleSQL, Amazon Redshift Data API, Databricks SQL and Snowflake SQL have governed metadata/query adapter implementations. Each has a finite supported contract and separate query grants.
Evidence uses local emulators or synthetic SQL/protocol surrogates. Real-provider authentication, native behavior, privileges, consumption and cancellation remain unverified or uncertified. Do not interpret these names as production-ready connector certifications.

SQL first.

BigQuery supports native SQL authoring; Visual Designer generation is not implemented. Redshift metadata and SQL use separate workflows; direct table datasets are unavailable.

Reviewed objects.

Databricks and Snowflake accept only their documented object, type and function contracts. Unsupported or incomplete analytical reuse refuses rather than silently broadening scope.
HOW IT FITS TOGETHER

Reusable definitions. Checked execution.

A React and TypeScript interface works with a Python FastAPI backend and governed analytical workers. Source references, typed results, revision checks and backend permissions connect exploration to saved analysis.
A Windows 11 x64 internal/trusted-use installer exists under review. Broader acceptance remains pending. Self-hosted, SaaS, hybrid delivery and a customer-side Data Bridge are product directions, not announced deployment offerings.
Scheduled or incremental refresh, sharing and embedding, semantic relationships and a custom React visualization runtime remain future work. No pricing, purchase or public download is offered.
