Power BI report design solutions for every team role.
Whether you're writing DAX, designing reports, or managing a BI team, Draft BI fits your workflow.
You spend more time rebuilding wireframes than writing measures.
I screenshot the Power BI report, paste it into Teams, and ask for feedback. Then three people reply with completely different ideas about what they were expecting.
Three rounds of wireframe changes after the measures are written. A design brief that lives in someone's head. No shared canvas where both developer and stakeholder see the same Power BI visual types in the same positions. The design-to-build handoff fails because there's no standard for locking a wireframe before development begins. A report prototyping tool that speaks Power BI natively would eliminate this rework entirely.
How Draft BI fixes this
- Upload your TMDL schema and get an AI-suggested wireframe with the right visual types for your actual tables and columns, positioned on the Power BI canvas grid
- Work with 37 visual types covering nearly all native Power BI visuals. What you draft is exactly what you build in Desktop
- Share a view-only link with stakeholders before a single measure is written. Lock the design with sign-off before development starts
- Write DAX measures in Model Studio. Describe what you need in plain English and get production-ready DAX that references your real tables and columns
- Export a PBIR file that preserves every visual container position exactly as designed. Open it in Desktop and the wireframe is already built
- Works with any Power BI license. All AI features available on Pro, no Premium or Fabric required
You have the vision, but no tool that understands Power BI's constraints.
You mockup the report in Figma. The developer comes back: “That visual doesn't exist in Power BI.” Back to square one, and the brand colors fail accessibility too.
Figma and PowerPoint don't know what a matrix visual is. They can't tell you whether your teal-on-navy text will pass WCAG AA. And handing off a screenshot means the developer has to recreate your design from memory. Positions, sizes, and all. Your design intent gets lost at every step.
How Draft BI fixes this
- Design with real Power BI visual types. 37 visuals covering nearly all native types in Desktop, rendered as accurate silhouettes on your canvas
- Generate a WCAG 2.2 AA-checked theme from your brand colors. Every contrast pair verified, failures fixable with one click
- Share a view-only link for stakeholder review. They see the actual wireframe with real visual types, not a static screenshot
- Hand off a PBIR file. Your developer opens it in Desktop with the exact wireframe you designed, positions preserved to the pixel
Every analyst creates reports differently. Brand consistency is a constant battle.
The theme JSON lives in a Slack message from three months ago. Half the team uses it, half don't. Every report review is also a brand audit.
Without a standard starting point, every analyst makes independent decisions about wireframe structure, colors, and visual hierarchy. Theme files get passed around informally. You have no visibility into the Power BI design workflow until a report is already in development, or worse, already published. The review cycle that should catch design issues becomes a rework cycle. Wireframe-first development gives your team a shared starting point before any DAX is written.
How Draft BI fixes this
- Build one brand-compliant theme in the Theme Studio and share the link. Every analyst downloads the same validated .json file, no Slack message required
- Use wireframes as design templates. Start every project from an approved standard structure before development begins
- Share view-only project links for design review before a single measure is written. Catch wireframe and brand issues at the cheapest point in the workflow
- Model Studio lets analysts write DAX with AI assistance. Measures reference real schema names and save to a shared library, reducing ad-hoc formula sprawl
- Every PBIR export embeds the approved theme. Reports open in Desktop already styled to brand standards, not raw defaults
