about narrative

The normalization infrastructure enterprises have  been missing

Narrative applies the power of AI normalization at query time for high-quality, enriched data that’s ready when you are.

How it works

The full data lifecycle. Finally.

 Unlike most data tools that solve one problem and create three more, Narrative’s suite handles the full data lifecycle so every team, partner, and platform is always working from (and towards) the same source of truth.

Rosetta Stone Normalization Engine

Automatic fluency

You deserve more than endless ETL. Automatically map incompatible data into a universal catalog with no bottlenecks, schemas to wrestle, or disgruntled engineers.

Identity orchestrator

Data on your terms

One unified customer profile from multiple data sources? Not with a legacy vendor. Own, activate, and manage your output all within your own secure cloud.

Data marketplace

Buy, sell, profit

One hub with every building block. Every component a modern data and AI strategy needs — data, skills, connectors, providers, packages, and workflows — typed, versioned, and ready to install.

Connectors

Deliver without detours

Your audience is waiting. Close the loop between data acquisition and campaign activation by delivering straight to Meta, Google, and more simultaneously without custom APIs or pipeline maintenance.

Narrative’s Approach

Learn how we actually make data actionable

Rosetta Stone Attributes

Universal Data Catalog

Applies a common language to every dataset without needing unique mappings

Rosetta Stone Attributes give you a catalog of canonical, standardized definitions—email, age, product ID, country, etc—that sit as a semantic layer above raw supplier schemas. Query attributes as a first-class source, preserve lineage through transformations and materialized views, and join consistently across every supplier without rebuilding bespoke mappings for each new dataset or partner.

Rosetta AI, Rosetta Stone Normalization Engine

AI-assisted Mapping

Automatic field matching between datasets for data that arrives normalized and ready to use

AI generates field-level mappings at query time, eliminating the standard ingestion pipelines you typically travel before data becomes usable. When schema mapping hits the limit, row-level ML and LLM-powered classification handles the long tail automatically. You manage mappings through a full lifecycle, and in Snowflake-native deployments, inference runs close to the data plane, returning suggested mappings as metadata without touching underlying data.

Normalization is the hidden time-tax that kills collaboration. It’s slow, fickle, and repeats endlessly. AI-assisted mapping turns it into an ongoing, scalable capability so new data becomes usable faster and stays usable as schemas drift further apart.

Identity Orchestrator

Graph-agnostic Identity Orchestrator

A flexible system that connects fragmented customer data with no single-vendor lock-in

Graph-agnostic identity resolution supports configurable deterministic and probabilistic matching to fit your use case, with BYO logic to override for custom match logic when you need it. This architecture lets you swap identity partners without destabilizing the rest of your stack. Because Rosetta Stone normalizes identity-related attributes upstream, your resolution layer operates on cleaner, standardized inputs which improves match quality and consistency across every source.

Data Marketplace

Data Marketplace

A centralized place to buy, combine, and start using data immediately

Incoming data is normalized on arrival; then governed, tracked, and mapped to Rosetta Stone Attributes so it's immediately queryable alongside your own datasets.Access rules, licensing terms, rate cards, and row-level provenance travel with every transaction, giving you a governed collaboration surface instead of an unstructured file exchange. Source exactly what you need, join it immediately, and skip the normalization sprint.

It creates liquidity and speed. Source the exact raw data you need, avoid overbuying, and shorten time-to-value. Because datasets are interoperable as soon as you access them.

Governance

Governance

Control framework that determines who can access what data, under what conditions.

Data collaboration fails without trust. Governance ensures compliance, prevents accidental over-sharing, enables safe internal/external collaboration, and makes monetization viable because licensing/permissions are enforceable and auditable.

  • Save query outputs directly as access rules, attach permissions, pricing, and tags, then reuse them safely across workflows 
  • Collaboration Policies define exactly what each party can view, map, and share
  • Governance enforces at the row level while provenance and policy implications travel with every output for clean auditing and downstream enforcement
  • Apply opt-out and privacy filters at query time in the data plane so excluded identifiers never surface in results

NQL, Data Studio

Narrative Query Language

A standard query language that lets you filter, join, and combine data across any source.

NQL is SQL-like by design. It's tailored to Narrative's abstraction model, querying Rosetta Stone Attributes as a source, referencing access rules by name, and joining across governed external datasets without custom pipelines. NQL supports interactive query previews—so you can validate logic before committing—and incremental view maintenance for efficient large-dataset refreshes.

Pair it with Query Builder or Data Studio for teams that need a UI layer. Or stay in the editor and work at full power. NQL makes cross-supplier data feel like it lives in one logical database and accelerates iteration for both technical and semi-technical users.

Narrative Anywhere

Narrative Anywhere

Applies a common language to every dataset without needing unique mappings.

Run normalization and collaboration workloads directly inside your cloud environment. Compute comes to the data, not the other way around. In Snowflake-native deployments, in-environment components pull sample data locally, run mapping and normalization inference, and return results and metadata without moving underlying data. Keep your governance consistent, simplify compliance, and eliminate ingestion pipelines. All without ceding control of your data plane.
