The Problem

Detection isn't the gap. Enforcement is.

Multi-year commitments are depleting months ahead of schedule. Your team can already see the spikes — what's missing is attribution to the workload that caused them, and a system that drives the fix to done. Leadership asks what's driving it. No one owns the answer.

Attribution gap

The platform sees warehouses

Not the retraining pipeline, the Cortex agent, or the team's app behind the burn. The cause stays unnamed.

Ownership gap

So the fix never lands

An unattributed cost goes into a Slack thread, gets no owner, and runs again next week. Visibility without enforcement changes nothing.

The agent, then the platforms

APEX is the Workload Governance Agent. Snowflake and BigQuery are the estates it governs. Open a hub for warehouse and Cortex depth, or for BigQuery cost, storage, and dataset lineage.

Platform

Snowflake

Warehouses Cortex Native App

The deep worked example: warehouses, queries, storage, Cortex, and Native App. 200+ Snowflake signals feed the graph. Cost, storage, AI visibility, and the Cortex simulator nest here.

BigQuery

Cost Storage Lineage

The same loop in BigQuery vocabulary: jobs, slots, reservations, and scan waste. Nested: cost governance, storage intelligence, and dataset lineage. In product, not a waitlist.

How APEX Works

Trace it. Assign it. Enforce it. Prove it.

Four stages. One closed loop — find the waste, name an owner, drive a decision through your review process, then close it from the data. Read the loop explainer →  ·  See the full walkthrough →

01

Trace

Find the waste, not the spend. Detect a recurring, fixable inefficiency and quantify the excess — the gap between what you paid and what an efficient configuration would have cost.

Addressable waste, not a spend leaderboard
02

Assign

Name a party, never the wrong one. Resolve the accountable person or team from real ownership evidence, and say plainly when ownership isn’t knowable rather than guessing.

Named owner — or needs owner
03

Enforce

Drive it to a decision. Give the owner the exact change, the risk and the savings, then track it through your own review process until it is applied, deferred with a reason, or dismissed.

Applied, deferred, or dismissed
04

Prove

Close it from the data. Watch the underlying metric return to normal and resolve the finding automatically. Nobody self-reports a win.

Closed because the waste stopped
APEX
Loop closed · Governance complete ✓
Private Knowledge Graph: the memory of workload governance — workload identity, ownership evidence, Git/fix history, waste vs spend. It makes assignment and closure trustworthy. It is not a graph built so an agent can auto-apply production changes.
After the loop closes
Waste ranked, not spend

Recurring inefficiencies with a counterfactual dollar figure — busy, efficient warehouses stay off the list.

Every owner named

Evidence-backed assignment — or an honest needs-owner, never a guessed personal accusation.

Decision enforced

Exact change through your PR process — applied, deferred with a reason, or dismissed.

Closure proved

The finding resolves itself when the metric recovers. Nobody self-reports a win.

What changes

Every cost problem traced, assigned, enforced, and proved.

01

Waste, not spend

See which recurring inefficiencies are addressable — the gap versus an efficient config, not a warehouse leaderboard.

02

Owner named — or needs owner

Cost events route from evidence. If ownership is not knowable, the Desk says so instead of guessing a person.

03

Decision enforced

The exact change tracks through your PR process until it is applied, deferred with a reason, or dismissed.

04

Closure proved

The finding resolves itself when the metric recovers. Nobody self-reports a win — and a simulation is not the proof.

Eliminated unpredictable warehouse cost spikes
★★★★★

"We achieved a 40% reduction in Snowflake spending within the first quarter. The anomaly detection caught patterns our own monitoring missed completely. The ROI was immediate and measurable."

HA
Head of Data Analytics
Global Financial Services Firm
40% Snowflake spending reduction in Q1
★★★★★

"As a data architect at a fintech, security and auditability are non-negotiable. Anavsan's metadata-only approach and the proof documentation trail made it an easy sell to our compliance team. 35% cost reduction in 2 months."

DA

FAQ

Common questions answered

Everything you need to know before you start your trial.

What is Anavsan?
Anavsan is the Workload Governance Platform for Snowflake and BigQuery. Powered by APEX, it traces waste (not spend) to a workload and owner, assigns the fix, enforces a decision through your review process, and proves closure from the data — Trace → Assign → Enforce → Prove.
What is workload governance?
Workload governance traces waste to a workload, assigns an owner, enforces a decision, and proves closure from the data. Monitoring shows what spiked. Governance ensures every material inefficiency has an owner, a resolution path, and an evidenced outcome.
What is Snowflake workload governance?
Snowflake workload governance is the same discipline on Snowflake credits, warehouses, and queries. Native attribution stops at the warehouse. Anavsan names the workload and owner, then enforces a decision and proves the waste stopped. See the Snowflake hub →
Does Anavsan support BigQuery?
Yes — BigQuery is in product. The same APEX loop runs on jobs, slots, reservations, and scan waste. Nested pages: cost governance, storage intelligence, and dataset lineage. We do not claim Cortex, Native App, or a 200+ BigQuery signal catalog. BigQuery hub →
Does Anavsan support Databricks?
No. Anavsan governs Snowflake and BigQuery. Databricks is a Unravel strength. If you need one AutoApply control plane across three platforms, compare operating models first. Anavsan vs Unravel →
Does Anavsan access my business data?
No — Anavsan uses metadata only. Snowflake: ACCOUNT_USAGE-class operational signals. BigQuery: operational metadata and INFORMATION_SCHEMA-class signals. It never reads, copies, or moves table contents.
How does Anavsan reduce Snowflake costs?
Anavsan reduces Snowflake costs by closing addressable waste, not just detecting spikes. APEX ranks recurring inefficiencies — idle compute, inefficient queries, storage bloat, Cortex usage — names an evidence-backed owner, tracks the exact change through your review process, and closes the finding when the metric recovers.
How is Anavsan different from Snowflake monitoring tools?
Monitoring tools detect problems; Anavsan enforces the fix. Native dashboards and third-party monitors show what spiked. Anavsan closes the accountability loop — trace the waste, assign the owner, enforce the decision, prove it from the data — so cost issues actually get resolved.
How is Anavsan different from Unravel?
Unravel is an operator; Anavsan is a governance layer. Their Context Graph exists so an agent can act (AutoApply). Our Private Knowledge Graph exists so assignment and closure are trustworthy. We cover Snowflake and BigQuery; they add Databricks. Read the brief →
How long does it take to connect Snowflake to Anavsan?
Most teams connect in about 5 minutes. Anavsan uses secure service-user authentication with metadata-only, read-only access. Your first attributed burn report is available on Day 1. Full onboarding support is included on Accountability and Enforcement plans.
Does Anavsan support multiple Snowflake accounts?
Yes — Anavsan supports multi-account Snowflake and multi-project BigQuery environments. Monitoring includes 1 Snowflake account or 1 BigQuery project free. Accountability is billed per Snowflake account or BigQuery project; Enforcement adds centralized visibility, cross-account and cross-project intelligence, and policy-driven governance across the footprint you govern.
Can Anavsan monitor Snowflake Cortex and AI Services?
Yes — on Snowflake, Anavsan tracks Cortex and AI Services alongside queries and warehouses. Teams can see which agents, models, and pipelines drive AI token spend, attribute it to an owner, and govern AI-related credit burn before renewal.
Does Anavsan suggest fixes or only report problems?
Anavsan recommends an exact change and tracks it through your review process. Using your Private Knowledge Graph, APEX surfaces the mechanism, risk, and copy-pasteable SQL. Teams can simulate credit impact before production as a change-safety step. The finding then closes itself when the underlying metric recovers — nobody self-reports a win.
How much does Anavsan cost?
Same SKUs for Snowflake and BigQuery. Monitoring is forever free for 1 Snowflake account or 1 BigQuery project. Accountability is $1,750 / month, billed per Snowflake account or BigQuery project ($16,800 / year). Enforcement is 3–5% of governed Snowflake credits or BigQuery project spend. Native App, Cortex visibility, and the Cortex simulator remain Snowflake-only. See pricing → Contact us for Enforcement.
