How do you ensure that as more people use an AI analytics platform, the system becomes more reliable and consistent, not more chaotic? A common failure mode in analytics is the problem of "ad hoc redundancy." Every new question starts a new analysis from scratch, and the organization's collective knowledge is never captured. This is inefficient and leads to inconsistent results. Cube D3 is designed to solve this by explicitly building institutional memory directly into the platform.

This is achieved through a multi-layered context system. Think of it as a hierarchy of knowledge that guides the agent, ensuring it acts with the full benefit of your organization's best practices and accumulated wisdom.

[Visual 1: Conceptual Diagram - The Layers of Context]

Layer 1: The Semantic Model (The Foundational Knowledge)

This is the base layer of knowledge. As we've discussed, the universal semantic layer contains all your core, durable business logic. It is the single source of truth for what metrics mean, how they are calculated, and who can access them. This is the non-negotiable foundation upon which all other context is built. It ensures that every agent, every time, starts from a place of consistency and governance.

Layer 2: Curated Domain Knowledge (The Organizational Playbook)

On top of the semantic model, D3 allows you to layer on curated domain knowledge. This is where you codify the unwritten rules and best practices of your business. It includes two key features:

  • Certified Queries Are the New Prompts: In most AI systems, a "prompt" is a one-off instruction. In D3, a Certified Query is a powerful, reusable asset. When an analyst builds a valuable report, it can be certified, elevating it to a gold-standard analytical pattern. When another user asks a similar question, the agent can use this certified query as a trusted template. It’s like creating an internal library of best-practice reports that the AI can learn from, ensuring complex analysis is done correctly and consistently.
  • Rules: You can provide agents with standing instructions that apply to their behavior. For example, a rule could state, "When analyzing marketing data, always exclude traffic from internal IP addresses," or "For all financial reporting, the default currency is USD unless the user specifies otherwise." These rules codify the nuanced business logic that is often assumed but rarely documented. This prevents user error and ensures that critical context is never missed, making the agent's output more reliable by default.

Layer 3: Dynamic Learning (The Adaptive Memory)

The final layer is the agent's own dynamic memory, which allows it to learn from its interactions and improve over time.

  • Memories: D3 agents remember the context of past conversations. If a user asks a question that has been successfully answered before, the agent can refer to that memory to generate the correct query more quickly and reliably. This isn't just a simple query cache; it's a contextual memory of the entire interaction. This process is enhanced by a reinforcement learning loop: when users give a "thumbs up" to a good answer, it positively weights that analytical path. A "thumbs down" does the opposite. This feedback helps the agent learn what a "good" answer looks like for a specific user, team, or business problem.
  • Knowledge from Workbooks: Saved Workbooks also become a searchable part of this institutional knowledge base. Before starting a new analysis, an agent can search across existing workbooks to see if the question has already been explored and answered by a colleague, preventing duplicate work and promoting collaboration.

Together, these layers create a rich, compounding system of intelligence. D3 agents don’t just have access to your data; they have access to your organization's collective, evolving wisdom about that data. This is how you scale analytics with both speed and consistency.
