Case Study

Leveraging AI: How a Top Insurer Migrated Platforms Without Losing a Single Metric Definition

A top US personal-lines insurer had chosen Sigma on Snowflake to modernize its analytics. The hard part was rebuilding 30+ Tableau dashboards without letting a single metric definition drift. Cognitio Analytics built an AI-assisted migration system, with the firm’s own experts in the loop, to translate, document and verify every component. The result: the full estate migrated in about 10 working days instead of 60 to 90. Download the case study to see how.

The Challenge

The Real Risk Was the Meaning Behind the Charts

Buying the platform was the easy part. More than 30 dashboards, with hundreds of components, still had to be rebuilt, and until they were, every real decision was still being made in Tableau. Rebuilt by hand, each dashboard would take two to three days. And with every analyst writing their own formulas, the firm risked ending up with thirty subtly different definitions of the same metric. The full case study unpacks the four factors that made a safe migration so hard.

Our Approach

A Migration System, Not More Analysts

Rather than adding headcount, Cognitio Analytics built an AI-assisted migration system around one principle: the machine does the translation and documentation, and the human confirms the intent. The system worked in four moves: Capture, Translate, Confirm Intent and Compound. Every confirmed decision made the next translation more accurate.

Evaluation by Design

Accuracy Measured From the First Dashboard

Most teams judge AI output by feel. Cognitio didn’t. From the first dashboard, the firm’s own Tableau experts labelled each translation against ground truth, building a human-verified accuracy record as the work progressed. For an insurer answerable to auditors and state regulators, that record mattered as much as the speed. See how measuring the system and improving it became one and the same in the full case study.

The Impact

Months of Work in Two Weeks, With Every Number Intact

The first dashboard went from upload to reviewed output in under two hours, against a two-to-three-day manual estimate. The full estate of 30+ dashboards was migrated in about 10 working days, with every metric captured as one documented, traceable definition. These are the headline numbers. The full case study has the rest.
