<p>Hey HN, I’m André, one of the people that is building benchouse.ai, a public leaderboard for analytics agents.<p>To score every agent fairly, we need to give them equivalent semantic context. Every agent has their own format ranging from dbt docs to Snowflake semantic views or custom yaml formats. I was porting them over manually, but every change in the reference context meant updating multiple docs. Quite annoying.<p>So we wrote semglot, it reads one semantic model and emits another one. Similar to sqlglot but for semantic layers. Today it reads dbt and writes to 6 different targets. Many more to come as we add more agents to benchouse.ai<p>MIT licensed.</p>

<p>As a side project, a friend and I are developing a probabilistic scheduling tool "Probaplan". It not only uses PERT but also incorporates risks for more accurate scheduling. Using the planning, risks and PERT distributions we simulate the project in a monte carlo simulation. The result is a distribution of simulated end dates, these dates can be used to say: The probability that the project is finished before June 2016 is 80%.<p>If anyone is interested in trying out the beta version, drop me an email at andre /at/ thebroadbaycompany.com</p>
