LookML Audit
A LookML audit that tells you exactly where the leverage is
A LookML audit is a structured review of your Looker instance — project structure, explores, joins, derived tables, caching, and permissions — that ends with a prioritized list of fixes. We surface maintenance drag, performance bottlenecks, the fanouts quietly breaking your measures, and the gaps in your access grants. From $5,000, delivered by senior Looker consultants.
What we check
Four areas, scored by severity
Project structure
Folder layout, auto-generated vs refined views, includes, and model organization. We flag where structure is creating maintenance drag.
Explores & joins
Join relationships, fanouts, symmetric aggregates, and the silent measurement errors that quietly erode trust in your numbers.
Performance & caching
Slow PDTs, missing datagroups, cache misalignment with your ETL, and query patterns that hammer the warehouse.
Permissions & access grants
Model-level access grants, content access, and row-level security — checked for gaps that expose data or block the right people.
What you get
- — A documented findings report scored by severity
- — A prioritized remediation plan you can action with or without us
- — Performance diagnostics with the specific queries and models at fault
- — A 60-minute walkthrough call to align your team
