AgencyAnalytics vs betaselectr: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
AgencyAnalytics is turning its assistant into scheduled agency staff work, not a chat box.
The release cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, letting those requests run on a cadence and post results into the client's conversation. Around them sit portfolio-management improvements — client tags, report share history, advanced metric filtering — and a consolidated Data tab feeding the assistant's context.
What is betaselectr?
Standardised coefficients for models where standardising everything is wrong — but the feed only links out
betaselectr computes standardised coefficients selectively, for models where blanket standardisation misleads — interaction terms, categorical predictors and moderated effects, where standardising the product term or a dummy variable produces a number that does not mean what readers assume. It has been on CRAN since November 2024 across three releases. What those releases contain cannot be determined from this feed.

◆ Current state
The release cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, letting those requests run on a cadence and post results into the client's conversation. Around them sit portfolio-management improvements — client tags, report share history, advanced metric filtering — and a consolidated Data tab feeding the assistant's context.
◆ Where it's heading
Every recent release either gives AgencyAI more to read or more autonomy in when it runs. The Data tab consolidation, the AI Tracker add-on for AI search visibility, and now scheduling all point the same way: the platform is being positioned to produce the recurring client deliverables an agency would otherwise assign to a junior analyst.
◆ Prediction
Expect scheduled AgencyAI output to gain delivery paths beyond conversation history — into reports or client-facing sends — given the existing report scheduling and share infrastructure.

Standardised coefficients for models where standardising everything is wrong — but the feed only links out
◆ Current state
betaselectr computes standardised coefficients selectively, for models where blanket standardisation misleads — interaction terms, categorical predictors and moderated effects, where standardising the product term or a dummy variable produces a number that does not mean what readers assume. It has been on CRAN since November 2024 across three releases. What those releases contain cannot be determined from this feed.
◆ Where it's heading
This changelog carries no release content. Every entry is a pointer to the CRAN page and to a changelog hosted on the package's own site, so the direction of development is not readable from what is published here. What the version numbers alone support is a package that reached CRAN in late 2024 and has issued two patch releases since, at roughly six-month intervals, without a minor version bump.
◆ Prediction
No prediction is supportable from these entries; the feed would need to carry actual release notes, or the package's own site would need to be read directly, before its direction could be called.
