Basedash keeps pushing its data out of the workspace — now to people without accounts
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and r2dii.analysis — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
The climate-alignment maths behind PACTA, now stable and maintained rather than reshaped
r2dii.analysis computes the target-setting side of PACTA: market-share and sectoral decarbonisation targets that measure a loan book or portfolio against climate scenarios. It sits downstream of the matched company data the sibling packages produce. The 0.5.0 release declared it lifecycle-stable and handed maintenance to a new lead, and releases since have been narrow corrections rather than new methods.

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.
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.
Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.

The history is a package converging. Early releases churn the output contract of target_market_share() and target_sda() — which sectors appear, which years, how missing production is treated — and each change alters the numbers users get. The ald-to-abcd rename runs across several releases before completing, and by 0.5.0 the churn has stopped, with three older summarise functions soft-deprecated and the package marked stable. What remains is edge-case correctness in target coverage.
With the package marked stable and the terminology migration finished, the soft-deprecated summarise functions are the obvious next thing to remove outright.
