## What this file is

A downloadable record of treating a warehouse program as the definition versus naming the live replica and inspecting the SQL. It is **not** a named-logo customer case, a vendor bake-off, or a DataCite / ORCID / Wikidata experiment.

## Four-step method (reproducible)

1. Name the host, the engine, and the schemas in scope.
2. Create a SELECT-only role. Revoke write and DDL.
3. Ask one goal: Q2 refund rate by channel, paid orders as denominator, exclude test accounts.
4. Inspect the SQL. Confirm SELECT-only.

## Source and goal

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Sources | Postgres reporting replica; 16 order-related tables; ~2.4 million paid-order rows |
| Standing goal | Q2 refund rate by channel, paid orders as denominator, exclude test accounts |
| Contrast | Project-first ticket vs live source + note |

## Results

| Retrieval state | Instance named | SELECT-only issued | SQL inspectable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project-first ticket | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Live source + note | 1 | 1 | 1 |

Wall-clock for the successful live rerun: 10 minutes (warehouse time excluded). The clock started when the operator opened the standing goal and ended when the named instance, the issued role, and the inspectable SQL sat side by side.

## What you may cite

- Artifact counts 0/0/0 → 1/1/1, 16 tables + ~2.4M paid-order rows on this run, ~10 min wall-clock, run ID

## What you may not claim

- Customer uplift %, a faster platform, official EEAT score, named-logo case, or that DataCite / ORCID / ROR / Wikidata / PostgreSQL / Gartner / WAIC scored this run
