WHY CONTEXT LAYER?

Context Determines AI Cost & Accuracy

Source: Gartner Data & Analytics Summit, Feb 2026

60–99%
Token cost savings with a strong context layer in place

A $100K LLM spend can drop to roughly $30K with a properly built semantic layer. (Gartner, Feb 2026)

✗ Without Context Layer

  • LLM probes data on the fly to build context
  • Misses relationships, hallucinations spike
  • Burns 60–99% extra tokens with every retry
  • Wrong answers cost far more than tokens
  • Undetected hallucinations reach production deliverables

✓ With Context Layer

  • Semantically relevant entities & relationships injected
  • Explicit meaning eliminates guessing by the LLM
  • Compressed context means 60–99% fewer tokens
  • Hallucinations dramatically reduced
  • Deterministic, governed, auditable query results

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

What You'll Cover: Day by Day

  1. PRE-WORK (OPTIONAL) · 8 HOURS · MUST COMPLETE 2 WEEKS PRIOR

    Client-Specific Use Case Research

    Identify your company's specific use case and relevant data assets. This optional pre-work ensures Day 1 hits the ground running with real context from your environment.

  2. DAY 1 AM · THEORETICAL FOUNDATION

    Semantic Layers, Ontologies, Cubes & Knowledge Graphs

    Build the mental model: core concepts, principles, and a full tools landscape overview. Understand why semantic layers exist, how ontologies structure knowledge, what cubes add, and where knowledge graphs fit into an AI-ready architecture.

  3. DAY 1 PM · DEEP DIVE & LIVE DEMO

    Tool Comparison & Timbr Deep Dive

    Side-by-side comparison of leading platforms, including Timbr, Stardog, Microsoft Fabric IQ, and others. A practitioner-led Timbr deep dive concludes with a live demonstration so you see the technology in action before building with it.

  4. DAY 2 · HANDS-ON LAB WITH TIMBR

    Build Ontology & Knowledge Graph, Measure the Difference

    Roll up your sleeves: build an ontology and knowledge graph hands-on using Timbr against real data. Then compare AI responses with vs. without the knowledge graph to quantify the accuracy and token savings yourself.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

What You'll Walk Away With

By end of Day 2, every participant can:

  • Explain semantic layers, ontologies and knowledge graphs.
  • Select the right semantic-layer tools.
  • Build an ontology and knowledge graph using Timbr.
  • Demonstrate measurable AI improvements.
