What do I need to run Origin Migrate?
Origin Companion for Excel plus two CSV exports from your PI Vision Admin Portal (Calculation Usage and Display Usage). No server-side install, no agents — the pipeline runs on your workstation.
Will it change my PI Vision displays or my AF database?
No. Origin Migrate only generates PI Builder-ready workbooks. Nothing touches AF until you review the output and import it yourself through PI Builder — the write step stays in your hands.
What happens to calcs that can't be migrated cleanly?
They land on the _REVIEW sheet with a stated reason — naming collisions, unparseable intervals, missing displays. Every calc in the estate is accounted for; nothing is silently dropped.
How does the business-impact scoring work?
score = (UseCount × Views × Users) ÷ ServerCost — usage and reach come straight from the Admin Portal CSVs, and the per-server cost weight is yours to set. The _SUMMARY sheet ranks the top calcs so you migrate what matters first.
Can I try it before licensing?
Yes — the beta includes one free workbook per server (up to three servers), enough to run your real CSVs end-to-end and inspect every sheet it produces. It's pre-launch (v0.9.1-beta); final pricing is set at launch.
Is this the tool that used to be called PI Kneader?
Yes — same pipeline, new name. PI Kneader became Origin Migrate when the product family unified under the Origin name; you may still see "Kneader" referenced as the name of the transformation engine inside it.
