Transform mockusign_dbt into realistic dbt project with staging/marts

Problem

The mockusign_dbt project currently uses a flat, simplified model structure that doesn't reflect how real dbt projects are organized. This makes it unsuitable as a reference for internal analyst pilots or external demos, because analysts can't learn realistic modeling patterns from it and dashboard packs built against it won't translate to production connector schemas. Without staging/intermediate/mart layers, source freshness tests, and proper documentation blocks, the project undermines confidence that connector dashboard packs will work against real customer dbt projects.

Context

  • Project includes realistic staging, intermediate, and mart layer conventions.
  • Seed/test/doc coverage supports onboarding and demo reliability.
  • Quickstart dashboards map cleanly to transformed marts and business KPIs.

Possible Solutions

Plan

  • Restructure models into staging/intermediate/marts with naming standards.
  • Add realistic source freshness/tests and documentation blocks.
  • Update example dashboards and walkthrough content to new model graph.
  • Validate end-to-end build and dashboard rendering from clean setup.
  • Capture migration notes for any existing tutorial references.
