AgencyAnalytics vs n2khab: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
What is n2khab?
n2khab keeps retracting interpretations of habitat data it can't actually support
n2khab reads and prepares the standardised Flemish Natura 2000 habitat data sources — habitat maps, water surfaces, GRTS master grids — for reproducible analysis. Releases track the publication of new versioned data sources on Zenodo, but the more consequential ones change how the package interprets what it reads. The latest removes an argument outright after the reasoning behind it was found to be wrong.

AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
◆ Current state
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
◆ Where it's heading
The assistant is being moved from something an operator invokes to something that runs on a schedule against connected client data, which changes it from a feature into part of the reporting pipeline. The integration work continues at its usual pace and serves the same end — the more channels are connected, the more a scheduled skill has to reason over. Filtering and tagging are the plumbing that lets those tasks be scoped to the right accounts.
◆ Prediction
Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.

n2khab keeps retracting interpretations of habitat data it can't actually support
◆ Current state
n2khab reads and prepares the standardised Flemish Natura 2000 habitat data sources — habitat maps, water surfaces, GRTS master grids — for reproducible analysis. Releases track the publication of new versioned data sources on Zenodo, but the more consequential ones change how the package interprets what it reads. The latest removes an argument outright after the reasoning behind it was found to be wrong.
◆ Where it's heading
Two forces shape the package. The first is external: each new habitatmap or watersurfaces vintage needs a supported reader, and the package has absorbed a steady stream of them. The second is a willingness to break its own API when the ecology does not support what the code claimed — the interpreted argument removed because type 3130 occurrences cannot be resolved to a single subtype, the rbbvos+ type dropped as too loosely defined, the collapse default changed to match how users actually need the output shaped. Return structures are also being normalised so element names no longer vary with data source version.
◆ Prediction
The package has said it expects future watersurfaces_hab versions to implement collapsing in the data source itself, so the corresponding argument is a candidate for removal once that lands — the same path the interpreted argument took.
