## Problem

A growth team's marts have minimal observability. Build the program. Add the five pillars on each curated table; add a lineage catalog with column-level provenance; thread query tags through every dbt run with a cost rollup that surfaces untagged spend; convert the CI pipeline to slim-CI with the four test layers; sequence the instrumentation so each step delivers value before the next begins. The dashboards continue reading from the existing Snowflake marts.
