Lab-Grown Diamond Intelligence
Production economics. Reactor efficiency. Market positioning.
The questions Lookato answers
for lab-grown diamond teams.
Ask in plain language. Get a governed answer with proof — not a spreadsheet request logged with the BI team.
What's our CVD vs HPHT cost per carat?
Side-by-side cost breakdown across the two growth methods — electricity, consumables, labour, depreciation — on a per-carat basis. The governed metric both Finance and Operations agree on.
Which reactors are producing the best quality grade distribution?
Rank reactors by the share of VS2-and-above output. Identify under-performing reactors before they skew your average selling price downward.
How does our pricing compare to natural market benchmarks?
Track your selling price per carat by grade against natural Rapaport benchmarks and published lab-grown indices. See the natural-vs-lab spread trend over the last 12 months.
What's our rejection rate by growth method?
Rejection and discard rate at final grading — separated by CVD and HPHT. Trend over the last 6 months to catch process degradation before yield drops.
Show production volume trend by month.
Total carat output per month, split by growth method, with revenue and cost per carat overlaid. Gives leadership the full production economics story in one chart.
Which reactor had the most unplanned downtime last quarter?
Unplanned downtime by reactor with root cause categories — power interruption, maintenance, failure. Prioritise capital maintenance spend based on evidence.
What the lab-grown diamond dashboard shows.
Lookato ships with a pre-built dashboard for lab-grown diamond — no configuration required. Connect your ERP and the views below are live on day one.
Cost per carat by method (CVD vs HPHT)
Monthly trend of fully-loaded cost per carat split by growth method. Drill into cost components — power, gas, consumables, labour — for any period.
Reactor efficiency ranking
Every reactor ranked by output carat per run cycle, quality grade distribution, and rejection rate. Flags underperformers in amber/red.
Quality grade distribution
Output volume by colour and clarity grade per reactor, per method, and per month. Visualised as stacked bars so grade mix changes are immediately visible.
Production volume trend
12-month rolling chart of total carat output with revenue and cost overlaid. Used for board reporting and production planning.
Every metric governed. Every answer shows its proof.
When your CFO asks where a number came from, Lookato shows the full chain of evidence: which governed metric was used, the exact formula applied, which dataset was queried, and whether the calculation passed validation. Not a debug log — a trust certificate.
Works with the ERPs
lab-grown diamond businesses already run.
We don't replace your existing systems — we read from them. Your data stays in the ERP you trust. Lookato connects and syncs automatically.
Custom production systems
Via data pipeline — Lookato ingests from reactor management software, quality grading systems, and ERP via standard connectors.
Tally
Financial data for cost allocation and P&L metrics.
