Saw 3 separate teams in our Discord ask for this last week. Filed the use cases at github.com/example/discussions/142 — most overlap on the 'hosted dashboard' angle.

Strong +1. Would also love an export step — CSV / Parquet drop so I can post-process downstream. Doesn't need to be in v1 but flag-able as Phase 2.

Currently piping through n8n + a Make.com webhook chain. Works, but the latency budget blows past 4s on cold-miss days. A first-party version would crush this.

Happy to claim the back-end half if someone takes the dashboard. Have spare cycles Thursday afternoon. DM me on X if interested.

Closest prior art I found: github.com/anthropics/anthropic-cookbook (the eval/ folder). Worth reading their assumption tree before re-deriving.
