Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- Idea: package validated query/report templates as an opinionated customer analytics starter.
- Idea: add a tenant-aware publishing layer around the report build workflow.
Tradeoff to consider
A code-first report workflow improves reproducibility but requires users to be comfortable with SQL and project files.
Starting route
Create an Evidence project, connect one representative source, and publish one SQL-backed report.
