Blueprints & Solutions - Documentation

What’s a Blueprint?

A blueprint is a complete reporting solution package. Data model, report templates, ETL patterns, configuration guides, and unit tests. Everything you need to deploy a proven solution.

What’s Included

Every blueprint contains:

Data Model Design - Pre-built finance data models for F&O
Report Templates - Power BI reports ready to customize
ETL Patterns - Data flow configurations for Fabric, Databricks, or Snowflake
Configuration Guides - Step-by-step deployment instructions
Unit Test Frameworks - LEAPWORK integration for testing

Why Blueprints Work

You have to be able to work on the system after it’s done. Even if it’s outsourced. Even if the original team is gone. Blueprints follow the Report Factory standards so anyone can maintain them.
