Staff turnover
"How is this metric calculated?" — nobody knows for sure. The report owner resigns, retires, or moves internally. The knowledge sat with one person.
Report X-Ray
We create the technical documentation you'd wish you had if your report's developer resigned tomorrow.
We preserve the knowledge behind your business-critical reports before it's lost.
Power BI has been running for years, several developers have worked on it, and the documentation is incomplete or doesn't exist.
BI2App is a Swiss offering by Ivayla Trifonova for Power BI knowledge preservation. Report X-Ray analyzes a PBIX file (data sources, Power Query, measures, DAX, dependencies) and delivers a structured PDF report at a fixed price from 499 CHF excl. VAT. You keep your original PBIX; documentation is delivered as PDF.
- No workshops
- No recurring costs
- No commitment to follow-up projects
Who it's for
Not a tool for developers — a reviewed report for decision-makers, whether IT leadership, controlling, or management.
Report X-Ray is built for IT leaders, heads of controlling, CFOs, heads of operations, BI leads, and data & analytics managers. Typically companies with 30–800 employees that have used Power BI for years, with multiple reports and multiple developers over time — and whose documentation is incomplete or doesn't exist at all. Especially relevant during staff turnover, acquisitions, or reorganizations when knowledge suddenly leaves with one person.
The concrete problem
When knowledge about your reports gets lost.
Acquisitions and mergers
Due-diligence teams or new owners need clarity on the existing BI landscape — before unknown technical debt is inherited.
Reorganizations
Teams are reshaped and nobody owns "that old report" anymore. Changes become risky, onboarding takes weeks.
Why is this expensive?
Not because of the documentation. Because of the consequences.
External consultant
120 CHF/hour × 3 days of analysis ≈ 3,000 CHF — just to understand how the report works.
Internal data analyst
2 weeks of reverse engineering before they can even touch the report.
Error during a change
A revenue measure gets changed. 15 visuals suddenly show wrong numbers. Management receives an incorrect KPI.
Bus factor = 1
If that one person leaves the company, nobody understands how the report is built anymore.

AI-Augmented Expert Review
Our agents handle the technical analysis and documentation of your Power BI report. Ivayla Trifonova — our Power BI analyst — then personally reviews and signs off on the results. This gives you the quality of an expert analysis at a fixed, predictable price.
Not: AI replaces experts. But: AI augments experts. You're not buying AI or agents — you're buying clarity, knowledge preservation, traceability, and reduced risk.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Report X-Ray
How much does Report X-Ray cost?
Standard: 499 CHF excl. VAT. Express-Handover (prioritized when someone is leaving): 699 CHF. Bundle 3 reports: 1,290 CHF. All packages include PBIX analysis, measures and DAX documentation, dependencies, data model, risk analysis, and PDF report. No workshops, no recurring costs.
Who is Report X-Ray for?
For decision-makers responsible for reports — IT leadership, controlling, CFOs, BI leads, and data & analytics managers in companies with 30–800 employees. Not a tool for developers, but a reviewed report for decision-makers.
When is Report X-Ray especially valuable?
When something is changing in your company: the report owner leaves, your firm is acquired or merges, or teams are reorganized. In all these cases, knowledge that previously sat with one person suddenly disappears.
What do you analyze specifically?
Data sources, Power Query, M transformations, tables, relationships, measures, DAX, calculated columns, visuals, filters, and dependencies — exclusively based on the content of your PBIX file.
How does the process work?
You send the PBIX file, our agents extract structure and logic, Ivayla Trifonova reviews and signs off. You receive a structured PDF analysis report. The exact timeline is agreed after we receive the file.
What do you deliberately not promise?
We don't automatically claim to know who uses the report, what decisions are made with it, or what business value it generates. Report X-Ray delivers technical facts from the PBIX, not assumptions.
Are there follow-up costs or commitments?
No. Report X-Ray is a one-time engagement without subscription. Optional follow-up services like report optimization are billed separately based on effort.
What happens to my PBIX file?
The file is used exclusively to perform the analysis. Processing and retention details are in our privacy policy.
Do I get the PBIX back or only a PDF?
You keep your original PBIX. Our deliverable is the structured PDF analysis report with technical documentation.
