What is a Decision Topic?

A Decision Topic is anything leadership wants Decision AI to keep watching - a KPI, a customer segment, a contract renewal window, a board question, or a specific risk. Each Decision Topic runs continuously against your Knowledge Graph and produces a Decision Brief whenever something material changes. In the DataBlueprint product UI, Decision Topics appear simply as 'Topics' in the left navigation.

What is a Decision Brief?

A Decision Brief is a board-ready summary produced when a Decision Topic refreshes. It includes the question, the finding, the supporting evidence (with row-level traceability to source systems), and a recommended next move with projected impact.

What is an AI credit?

Credits power DataBlueprint's Decision AI activities - asking questions, refreshing Decision Topics, generating Decision Briefs, and running risk scans across your Knowledge Graph. Consumption depends on the complexity of the request.

What is a Knowledge Graph?

A live, unified map of every entity in your business - customers, contracts, products, costs, people - and the relationships between them, built automatically from every system you connect.

How is DataBlueprint different from a BI tool like Tableau or Power BI?

BI tools show tables and dashboards and require a data team to model and maintain them. DataBlueprint understands business relationships across all your systems, answers strategic questions in plain language, and surfaces recommended actions with traceable evidence. BI tells you what happened; Decision AI tells you why and what to do.

Is DataBlueprint read-only?

Yes, by default. DataBlueprint connects to all source systems in read-only mode. Agent write-back to systems like HR, CRM, and PSA is opt-in per system on the Business tier and requires explicit per-action approval.

Where does AI inference run?

All AI inference runs on a private LLM powered by AWS Bedrock, inside your AWS environment. Prompts, completions, and query results are never sent to OpenAI, Anthropic public endpoints, Google, or any external model provider. AWS Bedrock contractually guarantees customer inputs and outputs are never used to train shared models.

What Happens When the DataBlueprint Trial Ends?

Your account does not disappear. It reverts to Free Forever rules — read-only and slow-refresh, but warm and ready to upgrade.

One of the more reasonable concerns prospects raise is, "If I connect my systems and the trial ends, what happens to all of that?" The answer in DataBlueprint is intentionally gentle.

Free Forever is the floor, not the door

When your 14-day Growth trial ends and you do not convert to a paid plan, your account drops to Free Forever:

1 Decision Topic stays active. You choose which one.
2 manual-upload sources. Live system connections go read-only and pause refresh.
Weekly refresh instead of continuous.
All historical Decision Briefs remain visible.

You do not lose your Knowledge Graph. You do not lose your history. You simply slow down until you decide to upgrade.

Why we built it this way

Most "trial" experiences in B2B SaaS are punishments. The day the trial ends, your data is locked, your team is logged out, and you are forced into a sales call. DataBlueprint was built by Inzata Analytics — a team that has been doing data work for two decades. We have seen what that experience does to trust, and we wanted the opposite.

A warm account means you can come back at any time. Reactivate, and the Knowledge Graph picks up where it left off.

What you should do during the trial

Pick the one or two Decision Topics that matter most to your business and make sure those are the ones you would keep on Free Forever. If they prove their value in 14 days, the upgrade decision is easy. If they do not, Free Forever is a fair fallback.
