Per-table SLAs on the marts that matter.

Google BigQuery
Freshness and cost from INFORMATION_SCHEMA and JOBS — never result rows.
The problem
BigQuery holds the numbers, but last-modified and job stats stay unread until a meeting or invoice explodes.
The outcome
Connect a least-privilege service account. VectorData watches metadata for freshness and cost — rows stay in your project.
