# Context Studio in Rig: curate the data context layer that powers every answer

Context Studio is where you curate the metric definitions, joins, and business rules that turn raw warehouse tables into governed, AI-ready data context.

## Define metrics, joins, and rules

Capture the definitions that live in your team's head — what counts as an active user, how revenue joins to customer, which rows to filter out — so Rig answers questions the same way your analysts would.

## Organize context into areas

Group related tables, metrics, and rules into areas — conversion, fraud, revenue — so Rig pulls the right context for the right question and stays fast at warehouse scale.

## Review and publish

Preview how Rig will use each definition, validate the SQL it generates against your own expectations, then publish so the whole team — and every AI tool plugged into Rig — picks up the change.

## Iterate as your warehouse evolves

Context Studio is built for ongoing curation. Update definitions as your business changes, retire stale rules, and let the rest of the team — and Claude, Cursor, and other MCP tools — stay in sync without re-onboarding.
