What is tidycmprsk?
Competing-risks modelling that now moves only when its neighbours do.
tidycmprsk wraps competing risks regression and cumulative incidence estimation in tidy-style output, so results slot into gtsummary tables and ggsurvfit plots. The last two releases are small: 1.1.2 sorts tidy.tidycuminc() output by stratum, 1.1.1 is an HTML5 documentation update for CRAN. The substantive work in the window is 1.1.0, which reorganised the gtsummary relationship.
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.

tidycmprsk
0.0ANALYTICS
Competing-risks modelling that now moves only when its neighbours do.
◆ Current state
tidycmprsk wraps competing risks regression and cumulative incidence estimation in tidy-style output, so results slot into gtsummary tables and ggsurvfit plots. The last two releases are small: 1.1.2 sorts tidy.tidycuminc() output by stratum, 1.1.1 is an HTML5 documentation update for CRAN. The substantive work in the window is 1.1.0, which reorganised the gtsummary relationship.
◆ Where it's heading
The package has spent its releases handing responsibilities to neighbouring packages rather than growing its own surface. Plotting was deprecated then made defunct in favour of ggsurvfit::ggcuminc(), and 1.1.0 moved the regression table methods so that gtsummary could drop tidycmprsk as a dependency. What remains is the estimation core plus the S3 methods that let other packages consume it, which is a deliberate narrowing.
◆ Prediction
Expect releases to continue tracking changes in gtsummary and the broader tidy survival stack rather than adding estimation features.
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.
