The function of calculating growth is not something you would need to call from this tool, as it should be easy to implement by yourself locally. I think the visualization part is the one you would want. I used to develop analytics for a startup and we would measure the whole range of freemium model of the service, but I guess the CEO would also have liked a simple single graph seeing overall growth (at least in terms of paying customers) at the end of a week. If you need more, there's tons of nice visualization frameworks nowadays helping you do all kinds of crazy stuff with your data.
though it's basically a mathematical function, and i'd rather keep my data on my own server.
is there a way to flip it around so I can call it as a function and run it locally? is there a platform for such functions?
seems like an interesting idea....
