Arcwise says it will explain every meaningful metric movement with hallucination-free AI, fully traced to your data and documentation, so a team can see what decision to make and why. The homepage path is to connect a warehouse and BI tools, add docs and definitions, and read the result in the Arcwise app or inside docs and slides. Security copy says only metadata and queries are processed. No plan price is shown on the public pages.
Arcwise is aimed at a team that already has a warehouse and wants a written reason for a metric move, not a blank spreadsheet formula. The pages name Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks, plus docs, definitions, and operating logic as the context the explanations learn from. They also say reports can sit in the app or in docs and slides. What they do not do is list a dollar price or describe each industry label in the nav. “Hallucination-free” is the vendor’s wording.
A good fit for
Teams that want a metric change explained from warehouse data and written definitions.
Putting a decision-ready report in the Arcwise app or in docs and slides.
Buyers who need the published SOC 2 Type II and key-control notes before a demo.
Know the trade-offs
The public pages did not publish a subscription price. Outside writeups disagree with each other and are not used here.
“Hallucination-free” and “fully traceable” are the homepage’s words.
The free terms offer the service AS IS and limit liability to the amount paid or 100 USD if nothing was purchased.
How Arcwise says it explains a metric move.
Find the shift, then write the decision
The homepage says Arcwise will explain every meaningful metric movement with hallucination-free AI, fully traced to your data and documentation, so a team knows what decision to make and why. The problem line under that is that seeing a metric move is easy and acting on it is not. Arcwise closes the gap, in the page’s words. It surfaces the right metric changes, explains them instantly, and delivers deep-dive reports in the Arcwise app or embedded in docs and slides. The labels underneath are early detection before reviews, decisions teams can act on, explanations grounded in your data, and explanations kept as shared knowledge. Decisions are also described as delivered inside tools teams already use. “Instantly” and “hallucination-free” are the vendor’s wording.
Connect the warehouse and BI tools first. The sentence says securely connect to your existing data sources, including Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and more. Next, bring in docs, definitions, and operating logic. Arcwise continuously learns from them to generate grounded, auditable explanations. The third heading is “Start asking questions,” but the public paragraph repeats the warehouse sentence. Reports are named in the solution copy: the Arcwise app, or docs and slides. Labels for Logistics, Airlines, Operations, Growth, and Manufacturing have no separate writeups. “And more” is not a list of other warehouses.
The privacy notice, updated January 16, 2026 by Archimedes Labs, Inc., is specific about Google files. If you integrate with Slides or Sheets, Arcwise extracts text, formulas, metadata, charts, and visual objects for analysis features. The summary says we do not use this data for advertising or model training. Docs are handled differently. With authorization, Arcwise may create or update documents with reports, summaries, or reference materials. It does not extract existing Doc content unless you copy or input it. The free terms, same date, define the application named Arcwise as a download from the Google Workspace Marketplace. The homepage separately describes an app plus embedding in docs and slides.
SOC 2 Type II controls are reviewed by independent auditors on a recurring basis, and the security page says Arcwise is SOC 2 Type II certified. The privacy summary adds auditors and penetration testers. Deployment can use your own LLM API keys, including Azure OpenAI or internal models, or Arcwise-managed keys. Only metadata and queries are processed, and Arcwise does not store sensitive business data. It runs inside connected warehouses, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and admin tools track AI usage, query history, and policies. The privacy summary also says it does not process sensitive personal information. Those storage lines sit beside the Google rules, which do say slide and sheet content is read when you connect those products.
A suggested operations path starts when a number has moved and the review is still ahead. The detection line is to identify meaningful shifts before they show up in reviews, then turn the change into a decision. The described output is a report in the Arcwise app or in a doc or slide. “Hallucination-free” remains the vendor’s claim, and the free terms still say the service is AS IS.
A slide that needs the reason, not only the chart
A suggested reporting path uses the line about delivering the decision inside tools the team already uses, including docs and slides. An authorized Docs connection may create or update documents with reports or summaries. Slides content can be extracted for the analysis features. Bring the definition in through the business-context step. Existing Doc content stays unread unless someone copies it in.
A trace back to the warehouse
A suggested analyst path is for a reader who wants the explanation tied to a table. The homepage says every explanation is grounded in your data and fully traceable. The security page says Arcwise runs inside connected warehouses while processing metadata and queries. Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks are the named sources. Admin tools are described as tracking usage and query history. No sample trace or retention period is.
How to get started with Arcwise
1
Connect the warehouse
Use the shown step to connect existing sources, including Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and more.
2
Add the definitions
Bring in docs, definitions, and operating logic so explanations are tied to that context.
3
Read the report where it lands
The solution copy places decision-ready reports in the Arcwise app or embedded in docs and slides.
4
Book a demo for access
The public pages repeat Book a demo. They do not show a public price or a self-serve checkout.
A price was not verified here. Ask the vendor before you pay. Do not treat third-party dollar figures as Arcwise’s price.
The privacy notice says payment data may be collected if you make purchases, and that all payment data is stored by Stripe. The free terms cap liability at the amount paid or 100 USD if nothing was purchased. That figure is a liability cap, not a subscription price. Users must be over 18. The company is Archimedes Labs, Inc., 548 Market St, PMB 44871, San Francisco, CA 94104. Contact is arcwise-team@arcwise.app.
Choose Hex when a metric-shift writeup is the wrong shape of work.
Arcwise centers the public homepage on finding a metric change and explaining the decision from connected data. Hex is the other analytics name to open when that report is not what you need.
Choose Quadratic when you do not need Arcwise’s demo-led warehouse setup.
Arcwise’s public access path is Book a demo, with Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks named as sources. Quadratic is the comparison when that enterprise connection story is not the task.
Arcwise: common questions
Does Arcwise publish a plan price?
A price was not verified here. Ask the vendor before you pay. The footer links Terms of Use (Free) and Terms of Use (Paid). Only the free terms were reviewed here. Stripe is named as the processor if you make a purchase. Outside sites disagree on dollars; those figures are not used here.
The connection step names Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and more, plus docs, definitions, and operating logic. “And more” is not expanded. Logistics, Airlines, Operations, Growth, and Manufacturing are nav labels without separate descriptions.
The security page says only metadata and queries are processed and that Arcwise does not store sensitive business data. It also says the product runs inside connected warehouses and encrypts data in transit and at rest. The privacy notice still says Slides and Sheets content is extracted when you connect them, and is not used for advertising or model training.
What can Arcwise do with Google Docs versus Sheets?
Sheets and Slides: text, formulas, metadata, charts, and visual objects are extracted for analysis features. Docs: Arcwise may create or update documents with reports, and it does not extract existing Doc content unless you copy it in. The free terms also describe a Workspace Marketplace download.
Written controls are SOC 2 Type II review on a recurring basis, your own LLM API keys or Arcwise-managed keys, metadata and queries only, admin tools for usage and query history, and encryption in transit and at rest. The privacy summary adds penetration testers.
Who may use the free terms, and what do they not promise?
The free terms require that you are over the age of 18. Access can end immediately, without prior notice. The service is AS IS and AS AVAILABLE, with no promise that it will be error free. Liability is the amount you paid, or 100 USD if you have not purchased anything. Marketing email can be stopped by unsubscribing.
NavHunt did not run Arcwise. No warehouse was connected, no metric explanation was requested, and no demo was booked for this profile. Security lines, Google file rules, and the absence of a plan price come from public pages on arcwise.app. This description is based on Arcwise's official materials reviewed on 2026-10-06, including Arcwise homepage, Arcwise security page, Arcwise privacy notice, Arcwise free terms.
