Promising governed analytics if semantic models are ready
Ruling editorial benchmark: Snowflake Cortex Analyst is compelling for organizations that want natural-language analytics over governed Snowflake data. The strongest use case is not casual file analysis; it is business-question answering on top of defined semantic models. Cost monitoring and semantic-model setup are the two launch checks.
