Switching guides
Most teams move one recurring question first and keep their current tool for what it does well. Each guide covers what to export, what carries over, and how to run both for a month so every figure can be checked.
A migration that tries to rebuild every dashboard at once takes months and proves little. Moving the one question a desk asks every month, such as what is driving the cost variance or where revenue came from, takes a week and can be checked figure by figure against the answer people already trust.
Take the source exports behind the report, not the report itself: the ledger, budget, sales or balance files your systems already produce. Map their columns once.
Answer the same question in both, for the same period. Every bridge in Covirage must sum to the change, so any difference shows up as a line to explain, not a gap to argue about.
When the figures agree, move the next recurring question. Keep the existing tool for what it does well for as long as it earns its place.
| Carries over | Rebuilt |
|---|---|
| Your definitions: accounts, periods, hierarchies and thresholds | Dashboard layouts and visuals |
| The questions people ask every month | Custom calculations, as tested measures with identities that must hold |
| The exports your systems produce | Scheduled refreshes, as file delivery or a connection built with your team |
| The people who own each answer | The list they work from, with an owner on every line |
