Data Warehouse Schema

-- Core tables
CREATE TABLE clari_forecasts (
    id BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
    owner_name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    owner_email VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    forecast_amount DECIMAL(15,2),
    quota_amount DECIMAL(15,2),
    crm_total DECIMAL(15,2),
    crm_closed DECIMAL(15,2),
    adjustment_amount DECIMAL(15,2),
    time_period VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    forecast_name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    exported_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (owner_email, time_period, forecast_name, exported_at)
);

-- Change tracking
CREATE TABLE clari_forecast_changes (
    id BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
    owner_email VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    time_period VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    previous_amount DECIMAL(15,2),
    current_amount DECIMAL(15,2),
    change_pct DECIMAL(5,2),
    detected_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
);

-- Analytics views
CREATE VIEW v_forecast_accuracy AS
SELECT
    time_period,
    owner_name,
    forecast_amount,
    crm_closed AS actual_closed,
    ROUND((1 - ABS(forecast_amount - crm_closed) / NULLIF(forecast_amount, 0)) * 100, 1) AS accuracy_pct
FROM clari_forecasts
WHERE exported_at = (SELECT MAX(exported_at) FROM clari_forecasts f2 WHERE f2.time_period = clari_forecasts.time_period);

Key Design Decisions

| Decision | Choice | Rationale | |----------|--------|-----------| | Export frequency | Daily | Balances freshness vs API load | | Data format | JSON export | Structured, easy to parse | | Pipeline orchestration | Airflow | Retry, monitoring, DAG visualization | | Change detection | Snapshot comparison | Clari has no real-time webhooks | | Warehouse | Snowflake | SQL analytics, dbt compatibility |
