What is segregatr?
A segregation-analysis tool that keeps widening which pedigrees it can actually handle.
segregatr computes full-likelihood Bayes factors for variant segregation in families, built on pedtools and part of the wider pedsuite ecosystem. Its releases are infrequent but each one lifts a structural restriction: loops, recessive and X-linked models, liability classes, and most recently a proband-free variant of the score. The companion shinyseg app gives the same machinery a clinical front end.
What is Usermaven?
Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.
Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.

segregatr
0.0ANALYTICS
A segregation-analysis tool that keeps widening which pedigrees it can actually handle.
◆ Current state
segregatr computes full-likelihood Bayes factors for variant segregation in families, built on pedtools and part of the wider pedsuite ecosystem. Its releases are infrequent but each one lifts a structural restriction: loops, recessive and X-linked models, liability classes, and most recently a proband-free variant of the score. The companion shinyseg app gives the same machinery a clinical front end.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is coverage of awkward real-world pedigrees rather than new statistics. Loops were handled for the core score in 0.3.0 and then extended to liability classes in 0.4.0, so the same structural capability is being pushed through the codebase feature by feature. The 2025 release moves in a different direction, relaxing the requirement for a designated proband. Development is slow and steady, roughly annual, and tracks its pedtools dependency closely.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to continue relaxing modelling constraints — the pattern of retrofitting each new capability across loops, liability classes and inheritance models is unfinished — rather than expanding beyond segregation scoring.
Usermaven
8.8ANALYTICS
Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.
◆ Current state
Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.
◆ Where it's heading
The shape is a product deliberately becoming a hub rather than a destination. Ingest, query and activation have each been generalized in turn, and the common design choice is to hand the boundary to a standard or a connector rather than build integrations one at a time. What is left proprietary is the middle — identity resolution, attribution, engagement scoring — which is where the release notes keep adding configurability. The Salesforce connection being read-only in its first cut fits the pattern: land the schema mapping, then open the write path.
◆ Prediction
Salesforce write-back is the obvious next step, since Reverse ETL already exists as the mechanism and the entry marks read-only as a first release. Expect more CRM connectors on the same template — read-only, per-org field mapping, sandbox first.
