A useful evaluation

Confirm plan boundaries, data handling, setup requirements, and the ongoing owner before a wider rollout.
Put it to work
- Write one task and the outcome that would make the tool useful.
- Compare the stated pricing unit, edition limits, and deployment requirements with the task.
- Run a narrow evaluation and define the evidence needed before expanding use.
Limits and tradeoffs
Self-hosting is not presented as the free default: documentation says it requires an Enterprise License. Hosted pricing is page-view metered, and the product is primarily web analytics rather than full product analytics (scope-based limitation).
