Nice work!

We need to be careful with how results based on the TPC-H specification
are presented.  It needs to be changed, but maybe not dramatically.
Something like "Fair use derivation of TPC-H".  It needs to be clear
that it's not an official TPC-H result.

I think I've hinted at it in the #perffarm slack channel, that I think
it would be better if you leveraged one of the already existing TPC-H
derived kits.  While I'm partial to dbt-3, because I'm trying to
maintain it and because it sounded like you were starting to do
something similar to that, I think you can save a good amount of effort
from reimplementing another kit from scratch.

Regards,
Mark

 
It makes sense to put it as a "fair use derivation of TPC-H". I also used the term "composite score" because of your previous feedback on it. 

I'll also check out the dbt-3 tool and if the effort is worth it, and if it's necessary, I'll try to switch to it.

These are very valuable feedback, thank you again.

Best,
Yedil
