Building a Lightweight Analytics Stack for Small New Zealand Businesses

Many small organisations think serious analytics requires a warehouse, a lake, and a specialist team. In practice, a tidy relational database, a good BI tool, and a short list of public datasets will take you a long way.

FactStream is deliberately lightweight: CSV-derived series for prices, injuries, trade, and migration combined with article content. You can mirror that pattern inside your own environment with a modest budget.
