What is admiralonco?

The oncology ADaM helper is dissolving into admiral core, one deprecation at a time.

admiralonco is the oncology companion to admiral, and it ships response-criteria recipes rather than code: RECIST, iRECIST, IMWG, GCIG and PCWG3 each arrive as a vignette plus an ADaM template. Cadence is one or two releases a year, each adding a criteria vignette. The 1.4.0 release began deprecating most of the package's own exported functions in favour of generic admiral equivalents.

What is Usermaven?

Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.

Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.

admiralonco vs Usermaven: editorial side-by-side

The oncology ADaM helper is dissolving into admiral core, one deprecation at a time.

◆ Current state

admiralonco is the oncology companion to admiral, and it ships response-criteria recipes rather than code: RECIST, iRECIST, IMWG, GCIG and PCWG3 each arrive as a vignette plus an ADaM template. Cadence is one or two releases a year, each adding a criteria vignette. The 1.4.0 release began deprecating most of the package's own exported functions in favour of generic admiral equivalents.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is converging on a documentation-and-templates model: reusable derivation logic moves upstream into admiral, and admiralonco keeps only the oncology-specific know-how. Every release since 1.0.0 has added a criteria vignette rather than new exported functions, and 1.4.1 extends that by making the template set browsable from the Get Started menu. The surface users program against is shrinking while the guidance they read is growing.

◆ Prediction

Expect the deprecation cycle started in 1.4.0 to advance through its warning and error phases across the next one or two releases, with new work arriving as another response-criteria vignette rather than new functions.

8.8

Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.

◆ Current state

Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.

◆ Where it's heading

The shape is a product deliberately becoming a hub rather than a destination. Ingest, query and activation have each been generalized in turn, and the common design choice is to hand the boundary to a standard or a connector rather than build integrations one at a time. What is left proprietary is the middle — identity resolution, attribution, engagement scoring — which is where the release notes keep adding configurability. The Salesforce connection being read-only in its first cut fits the pattern: land the schema mapping, then open the write path.

◆ Prediction

Salesforce write-back is the obvious next step, since Reverse ETL already exists as the mechanism and the entry marks read-only as a first release. Expect more CRM connectors on the same template — read-only, per-org field mapping, sandbox first.
