The Mode Playbook is the start of our effort to find out. Each Playbook report includes a SQL query and a visualization. They're built on top of an example users table and event stream—a data structure that's common in many companies. Because users can represent customers, accounts, or users, and events can be logins, purchases, clicks, screen views, or any combination of actions, each Playbook is designed to be flexible enough to fit many different businesses and products. If you have a SQL database with these two concepts, you can make a few simple changes to the reports we provide and have access to the same set of analytical tools we've built over the last year.
It's a provocative question and this tech startup set out to try to answer whether data analysis can be open source. If data is your thing, take a look at their free tool.
