What We Measure

Five dimensions of Snowflake optimization.

Each dimension is weighted to reflect its impact on Snowflake ROI. Your score is benchmarked against 100+ real-world deployments.

  • Data Architecture (25% weight)

    • Schema design, data sharing, Marketplace usage, Horizon governance, and data modeling best practices.

  • Pipeline & Automation (25% weight)

    • Snowpipe, Tasks, Streams, Dynamic Tables, ELT patterns, and Snowpark for data engineering.

  • AI/ML & Analytics (20% weight)

    • Cortex AI, Snowpark ML, Streamlit, Native Apps, and ML model deployment on Snowflake.

  • Performance & Cost (20% weight)

    • Warehouse sizing, auto-scaling, resource monitors, query optimization, and FinOps.

  • Security & Governance (10% weight)

    • RBAC, network policies, data masking, row-level security, compliance, and Horizon.

Why It Matters

Most Snowflake deployments are significantly underoptimized.

  • 60% Of Snowflake Spend Is Unoptimized

Most organizations leave significant value on the table — oversized warehouses, no resource monitors, missing clustering keys. ArcticIQ tells you exactly where your optimization gaps are before you overspend for another quarter.

  • 3x Faster with Modern Snowflake Features

Organizations using Dynamic Tables, Cortex AI, and Snowpark deliver data products 3x faster than those running manual SQL scripts. If your team isn't leveraging these, you're paying an invisible tax on every project.

  • 35 Minutes of Expert Analysis, Delivered Instantly

ArcticIQ condenses what a Snowflake optimization consultant would assess in a half-day discovery session into a 2-minute self-assessment with a downloadable PDF report — benchmarked against real Snowflake deployments.
