AgencyAnalytics vs tern.mmrm
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and tern.mmrm — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AgencyAnalytics vs tern.mmrm: 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 tern.mmrm?
An MMRM tabulation package that has published nothing since its 2024 CRAN releases.
tern.mmrm wraps mixed models for repeated measures into the tern tabulation and plotting layer used by teal clinical modules. The visible history ends with three CRAN releases in mid-to-late 2024; before that the feed carries only automated version bumps from 2022, three of which have just been backfilled into the record. The most recent substantive change adds axis limit arguments to the LS-means plot.

AgencyAnalytics is turning its assistant into scheduled agency staff work, not a chat box.
◆ 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.
tern.mmrm
0.0ANALYTICS
An MMRM tabulation package that has published nothing since its 2024 CRAN releases.
◆ Current state
tern.mmrm wraps mixed models for repeated measures into the tern tabulation and plotting layer used by teal clinical modules. The visible history ends with three CRAN releases in mid-to-late 2024; before that the feed carries only automated version bumps from 2022, three of which have just been backfilled into the record. The most recent substantive change adds axis limit arguments to the LS-means plot.
◆ Where it's heading
Content per release is thin and largely organisational: a maintainer change, replacing scda with random.cdisc.data in vignettes, and adapting to new {mmrm} versions. The package appears to be in maintenance, tracking its upstream dependency rather than developing independently. The 2022 entries now visible are release-automation commits, not releases in any meaningful sense.
◆ Prediction
Nothing here signals new functionality; the realistic next event is another compatibility release when {mmrm} or {rtables} changes underneath it.
