Semantic model without a report

What this rule checks

No report in the same workspace references the semantic model.

Everscope evaluates only the metadata needed for this deterministic check. It does not read dataset rows or values.

Why this is a risk

An unreferenced semantic model may represent abandoned refresh cost or an undocumented external dependency.

In a governed environment this can weaken traceability, operational reliability, or the evidence available to reviewers and auditors.

How to resolve it

1. Review usage, refresh history, Excel connections, and downstream dependencies before deciding on a manual change.
2. Validate the change with the accountable owner, rerun the same metadata scan, and retain the before-and-after evidence.
