Pattern Catalog<br>Historical Modeling Pattern Catalog<br>Browse practical patterns for historized sources, temporal joins, snapshot reporting and bitemporal validation.

Browse Pattern Catalog →<br>State ↔ State Alignment<br>Join two historized state sources across overlapping valid-time intervals.<br>Dimension Completion<br>Fill missing dimension history before joining facts to dimensions.<br>Snapshot Reproducibility<br>Make historical reports rebuildable with the same result.<br>Historical Conformance<br>Align multiple historical source timelines into one reporting history.

Historical Model Review<br>Review an existing model<br>Paste SQL, PySpark, dbt model code or notebook text to understand the historical architecture, detected modeling decisions and potential review questions.<br>Try an example<br>See what the model review can understand<br>Load a sample architecture description, PySpark notebook, SQL model or dbt model to see how the review detects historical modeling patterns, risks and missing validation checks.<br>Load Architecture Description<br>Plain English model description for monthly snapshots, SCD2 joins and dimension completion risk.<br>Load PySpark Notebook<br>Notebook-style Spark logic for bitemporal contract history joined to an SCD2 customer dimension.<br>Load SQL Snapshot Model<br>SQL model for month-end snapshot reporting with valid-time joins and reproducibility risk.<br>Load dbt Model<br>dbt-style incremental model with SCD2 joins, snapshot grain and late-arriving correction risk.

The review will appear after you paste model logic.

Target Table Validation<br>Validate the generated historical table<br>Paste the output table produced by your notebook or pipeline. This checks whether the generated historical table has a stable grain, valid-time consistency and snapshot coverage.<br>Try an example output<br>Validate generated tables from notebooks or pipelines<br>Load sample target-table outputs to see checks for snapshot grain, dimension completion, missing coverage, event prioritization and reproducibility risks.<br>Load Snapshot Output Demo<br>Monthly snapshot output with duplicate grain, missing month coverage and reproducibility risk.<br>Load Dimension Completion Demo<br>Fact snapshots with missing customer dimension values and historical coverage gaps.<br>Load Event Prioritization Demo<br>Event output with operational noise, duplicate milestones and prioritization issues.

The validation result will appear after you paste target table rows.

Advanced investigation<br>Debug historical source behavior<br>Use this when you need to compare two historized sources, inspect temporal joins, investigate gaps, overlaps, ambiguous matches or visible-time behavior.
