Revan Analytics by DataMaaS
How your data is read
Every question runs through one secure pipeline — and you only ever talk to Revan.
The pipeline
Not guessing — reading your real, governed data.
Every question runs through one secure pipeline. You ask at stage 02 and read the answer at stage 05; the three that carry the security sit in between.
-
01Your Data FoundationSales, financials, supply chain, operations and HR — consolidated by DataMaaS into one governed source rather than five you’d otherwise stitch together by hand.
-
02Ask RevanYou pose the question in plain English, inside the DataMaaS Platform. This is the only stage you interact with.
-
03Your governed data layerThe DataMaaS layer that holds your definitions. It holds the tools Revan is allowed to call, and it knows your schema, your KPI definitions and your business rules.
-
04Secure QueryYour governed data layer generates the read-only SQL and enforces what your role may see — before a single row returns.
-
05The analysisRevan reads every relevant source, establishes which basis the question needs, and returns the call. Not a raw table.
Revan itself runs on a frontier model reached through the Anthropic API, inside the DataMaaS Platform. Your question and the figures that come back pass through it. Your credentials never do — and where a result set is large, the underlying rows need not either.
The boundary
What Revan never does.
The limits matter as much as the capability — and they are enforced by architecture, not by asking the model to behave.
Access is enforced at the database — not by trusting the AI.
The governed data layer
It knows your business, because your definitions are written into it.
Generic AI tools know nothing about your business. Your governed data layer does. DataMaaS encodes your environment into it, so a question is interpreted the way your business would interpret it rather than the way a model guesses.
- Your schemaYour tables, your joins, and what each field actually means — rather than a model’s guess from a column name.
- Your KPIsMargin, churn, on-time delivery — defined the way your business defines them, not the way a model assumes.
- Your business rulesWhat counts, what is excluded, and which basis a figure is reported on when more than one exists.
It does not matter what you run. One ERP or four in four countries and four currencies; a data warehouse, a lake, or a reporting database. If DataMaaS can reach it, it can sit behind a governed data layer — and figures can be aligned to a single consolidated currency before Revan reads them.
Two ways in
You do not need a governed data layer to start.
Point Revan at governed data, or at a file of your own. Both work — and the difference in how each is governed is worth stating plainly.
Governed by your role. Table, row and column entitlements are applied before any result returns, on every query, without exception.
Upload a file to Revan — a large one is fine. It is governed by what you chose to put in it rather than by your role, and it stays available until you delete it.
Access control
Each user only ever sees what their role permits.
Three layers of entitlement govern every query, applied before results are returned.
- Tables — what exists for youYour role sets which tables exist at all. A finance leader sees the cost and margin tables; a rep sees sales only.
- Rows — security filtersDefine a filter such as “Site” once. A user scoped to North America never sees the other sites.
- Columns — sensitive fieldsCost and margin are gated by role — a rep sees top-line only.
Assurance
Read-only, under your control, and never used to train AI.
Every query runs under your identity and your role’s entitlements.

You only ever talk to Revan.
Everything above happens behind one question in plain English. The pipeline is the reason the answer can be trusted — but you never have to operate it, and there is nothing to configure before you ask.
