Build and govern the Unity Catalog semantic layer (metric views) so core KPIs are defined once and reused consistently across Genie, AI/BI dashboards, and alerts.
Make data AI/ BI-ready: maintain rich table and column descriptions, a business glossary, and synonyms / entity matching so Genie reliably maps business language to the correct fields.
