AgencyAnalytics vs superspreading: 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 superspreading?
superspreading now asks whether a pathogen will emerge at all, not just how unevenly it spreads.
superspreading quantifies individual-level variation in transmission — the offspring distributions and summary metrics behind the 20/80 rule — and calculates probabilities of epidemic, extinction and containment. With 0.4.0 it added probability_emergence(), estimating whether an introduced pathogen can evolve into sustained human-to-human transmission. The package moved from experimental to stable in the same release.

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.

superspreading now asks whether a pathogen will emerge at all, not just how unevenly it spreads.
◆ Current state
superspreading quantifies individual-level variation in transmission — the offspring distributions and summary metrics behind the 20/80 rule — and calculates probabilities of epidemic, extinction and containment. With 0.4.0 it added probability_emergence(), estimating whether an introduced pathogen can evolve into sustained human-to-human transmission. The package moved from experimental to stable in the same release.
◆ Where it's heading
Scope has widened one published framework at a time. 0.2.0 added network-based reproduction numbers, 0.3.0 added the Lloyd-Smith formulation of proportion_transmission() and vendored a branching-process simulator to drop the {bpmodels} dependency, and 0.4.0 implemented and extended the Antia et al. emergence model. Each addition brings a vignette reproducing the source paper's figures, which is how this package treats a method as delivered.
◆ Prediction
The established pattern — implement a published framework, extend it, document it against the original figures — makes another literature-derived addition likelier than internal refactoring.
