Your teams don't disagree on the data. They disagree on what it means.
Dolfin turns your business vocabulary into a living model that your people, your spreadsheets, your applications and your AI assistants all read the same way. Agree on a definition once, and every number and every answer comes from it.
The hidden cost of ambiguity
Most data problems are not technical. They come from words that mean different things to different teams.
- Three dashboards, three numbers: Sales, finance and support each count “active customers” their own way. Meetings start by reconciling figures instead of deciding.
- Every integration starts from zero: Each new project rediscovers what the columns mean, rewrites the same mappings, and drifts a little further from the last one.
- Nobody can prove what a term meant: When an auditor asks which definition was in force last March, the answer lives in someone's inbox.
- Your AI assistant guesses: Without your definitions, an AI assistant answers with confidence and invents what your own terms mean.
How it works: agree, connect, ask, govern
One workspace takes you from scattered vocabulary to trusted answers. No specialist degree required.
- Write down what your words mean: Business and data teams define each term together, in plain sentences, in a shared workspace. Everyone gets a searchable glossary they can actually read.
- Plug in the data you already have: Bring your spreadsheets, CSV, JSON or XML files and your existing models. A guided form maps each column onto your definitions; an AI assistant can draft it for you.
- Get answers without writing code: Build questions by clicking through your own concepts, or ask an AI assistant in plain language. Both answer from your definitions.
- Keep it right as you grow: Every change is versioned and attributed. Invite colleagues with clear roles, edit together in real time, compare any two versions and bring an old one back.
Your AI assistant, grounded in your definitions
A generic AI assistant guesses what “revenue” or “active customer” means in your company. Connected to Dolfin, Claude reads your model first and answers from it.
- Connect Claude to your workspace in a few clicks, with no configuration file
- It sees only what you can see: your projects, with your permissions
- It looks up your definitions, queries your published data, and you can inspect every query it ran
- Read-only by design: it cannot change your data
Agrafe
The shared workspace where your teams define, connect and publish your business model. Everything happens in the browser; there is nothing to install.
- Write definitions with instant checks that catch contradictions and typos as you type
- See your whole model as an interactive map, and edit it right from the map
- Work together in real time: invitations, roles, live cursors and full version history
- Publish a version in one click: your apps, Eqlat and Claude can query it right away
Pangloss
Your company dictionary, always up to date. Pangloss turns the definitions written in Agrafe into a clean, searchable glossary that everyone can read, from new hires to auditors.
- Find any term, its synonyms and its definition in seconds
- Synonyms and translations included, so “client” and “customer” lead to the same place
- Related terms are linked: jump from one definition to the next in one click
- Share a read-only glossary with your whole team, or with the public
Eqlat
Ask questions of your data by clicking, not coding. Eqlat builds the query from your own definitions, so anyone can explore without learning a query language.
- Pick a concept, follow its links, add filters: the question builds itself
- Only questions that make sense: every choice comes from your model
- Works on every version you have published from Agrafe
- Same sign-in as Agrafe, nothing else to set up
What changes for your business
Three examples of what one shared model changes, from compliance to the shop floor.
- Financial compliance & KYC: One versioned definition per regulatory term, applied the same way everywhere, with the history to prove it.
- Manufacturing & supply chain: One map links every part to its suppliers and products, so you trace a defect to every affected product with a single question.
- AI you can trust: It reads your definitions and queries your published data, and you can check every query it ran.
See it on real models
Open any of these public example projects and browse their glossary, map and data. No account needed.
- Inventory: Products, warehouses and orders, with rules that flag low stock.
- Finance: Accounts and transactions, with amounts in several currencies.
- Support: Tickets, agents and priorities that drive the SLA clock.
- Real Estate: Properties, agents and listings moving through the sales pipeline.
- Academic: Students, instructors, courses and grades.
- Library: Books, copies, members and loans.
Built so you never get locked in
Your business model is a long-term asset. It should outlive any tool, including ours.
- Open source: The language and its tools are open source (MIT / AGPL). Your engineers can read, audit and run every line.
- Open standards: Your model exports to W3C standards (OWL, RDF, SKOS) that hundreds of existing tools already understand.
- Access you control: Owner, editor and viewer roles, invitations, access tokens, and an audit log of every write to your published data.
- Full history: Every version is kept. Compare any two, restore an old one, and show exactly what a term meant on a given day.
