Public overview 04 · Local-first research

Collabysis

A person can import CSV or spreadsheet data, collect selected public data, inspect columns, receive guidance toward supported analyses, review assumptions and effect estimates, build charts or bounded dashboard summaries, and export material for review or reproduction. Optional AI can help interpret a question while supported calculations remain in the analysis engine.

Decision boundary: Local-first describes imported-data analysis, not every network action. The catalog is narrower than a full statistics package. Sampling, study design, data quality, interpretation, and expert judgment still matter. It is not universally better than SPSS or a replacement for a statistician or data scientist.

01

Human context

The problem

Data work often spans collection, preparation, method choice, analysis, charts, dashboards, and reporting.

Specialist time and commercial tools can be expensive, and fragmented handoffs make reasoning harder to inspect.

02

What a person can do

User-visible capabilities

  • Data workbench

    A person can import CSV or spreadsheet data, collect selected public data, inspect columns, and receive guidance toward supported analyses.

  • Reviewable outputs

    The product can surface assumptions and effect estimates, build charts or bounded dashboard summaries, and export material for review or reproduction.

03

Broad context

Engineering context

Analysis surfaces
A local Python analysis engine and browser workbench provide constrained operations with on-device supported methods.
Charts and exports
Chart and dashboard surfaces pair with reproducibility exports for later review.

Human responsibility

Decision boundary

Local-first describes imported-data analysis, not every network action. The catalog is narrower than a full statistics package. Sampling, study design, data quality, interpretation, and expert judgment still matter. It is not universally better than SPSS or a replacement for a statistician or data scientist.

05

Claim boundary

Limits stated plainly

  • Optional AI can help interpret a question while supported calculations remain in the analysis engine.
  • The product does not replace expert judgment or a full statistics package.
