Reviewer scorecard
“SQL + markdown = BI dashboards. Version control your analytics like code. Genius simplicity.”
“Open-source Segment alternative with warehouse-native architecture. Self-hosting means your data never leaves your infra.”
“For teams that think in SQL, Evidence produces better dashboards than clicking through Metabase or Tableau.”
“Why pay Segment when RudderStack does the same job with open source and better warehouse support?”
“Code-based BI aligns analytics with engineering best practices — version control, review, testing.”
“Warehouse-native CDP is the right architecture. Data should live in your warehouse, not a vendor's platform.”
