Why SourceMedium

One accountable partner for the data your business runs on.

SourceMedium connects, models, tests, and maintains your commerce data, then makes it usable through dashboards, attribution, verifiable AI, and direct BigQuery access. More flexible than an analytics app, with less operational burden than building in-house.

Trusted by operators at 100+ e-commerce brands, including LMNT, CPAP, and Neuro.

Behind every growth decision is a data question. Most brands can't answer it.

  • Your team debates which numbers are right instead of deciding what to do next.
  • You're paying for multiple tools, and still can't get a straight answer on CAC or LTV.
  • Every board deck starts with a scramble to reconcile sources.
  • Your last data hire left. Now nobody knows how anything was built.

The symptoms appear in reporting. The root cause is a fragmented data foundation, and another dashboard does not fix it.

    02

    Managed BigQuery. Yours to build on.

    BigQuery runs in SourceMedium's managed environment by default, with direct access to modeled tables and included compute. A customer-owned Google Cloud deployment is also available.

    Connect compatible tools such as Tableau, dbt, Python, or Hex, and extend the documented schema without rebuilding the maintained foundation.

    Direct modeled-table access

    Query with standard SQL and connect BigQuery-compatible tools.

    Documented schema

    Consistent naming and stable definitions your data team can extend.

    Portable reporting assets

    Copy, customize, and reconnect retained dashboards when needed.

    03

    Data you can actually trust.

    When your team trusts the numbers, meetings shift from 'where did you pull that?' to 'what should we do?' 4,000+ automated checks run daily to catch issues before they reach reports.

    Present to the board and explain where every number came from. Onboard a new analyst: they can use the documentation from day one. Your data team builds on the schema instead of rebuilding it.

    Your team stops debating dashboards and starts shipping decisions.

    4,000+

    automated quality checks daily

    180+

    defined metrics

    Schema commitment

    supported long-term; build on it confidently

    Documentation

    you can actually read (and onboard new hires with)

    04

    Built to stay. Safe to leave.

    If you leave, modeled data already delivered to BigQuery, customer-built SQL and models, copied dashboards, and delivered documentation remain usable. SourceMedium-managed refreshes stop after offboarding. To keep receiving fresh data, move the retained assets to a customer-managed BigQuery instance.

    Delivered data remains usable

    Keep the modeled data already delivered and move retained assets to a customer-managed BigQuery instance when needed.

    • Modeled BigQuery data can move to your Google Cloud account

    Your work remains portable

    Copied reporting assets, customer-built models, and SQL remain usable without starting from zero.

    • Copied Looker Studio dashboards can reconnect to the retained data
    • Customer-built SQL and models remain available
    • Delivered schema and metric documentation remains available

    SourceMedium IP

    SourceMedium-managed connectors, orchestration, monitoring, and proprietary platform code remain SourceMedium intellectual property.

    • Managed refreshes stop after offboarding

    “If we leave, what happens to our data, dashboards, and team workflows?”

    What implementation looks like

    From access to the first validated output.

    For supported standard connectors, SourceMedium handles authorization guidance, historical backfill, modeling, reconciliation, testing, and dashboard setup. Your team grants access, confirms key definitions, and approves the validated outputs.

    Live in two weeks. The two-week target applies to a standard launch with supported connectors. Custom sources and customer dependencies can change the timeline and are scoped separately.

    Custom sources and source-specific engineering requirements are scoped separately before signing.

    Operating models

    Three ways to solve the problem.

    Choose based on who should own the ongoing work, not only the feature checklist.

    Closed analytics app

    Fast to start, but limited to the product's interfaces, definitions, and supported use cases.

    Best when speed and a fixed workflow matter more than direct data access.

    SourceMedium

    One maintained foundation with AI, dashboards, attribution, direct BigQuery access, and one accountable partner.

    Best when you need flexibility without assembling and maintaining the stack yourself.

    DIY data stack

    Flexible and composable, but your team owns vendor selection, implementation, modeling, QA, and maintenance.

    Best when an internal data team wants to own each component.
