AgencyAnalytics vs themis: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
Reporting features now exist mainly to feed the AI layer sitting on top of them.
AgencyAnalytics is shipping steadily across two tracks. The visible one is reporting ergonomics for agencies managing many clients: regex and contains filtering on custom metrics, client tags applied in bulk, and a Shares tab exposing every way a report has been sent. The second, and the one the roadmap language keeps pointing at, is AgencyAI — which gained saved reusable Skills in August, while the client Data tab was consolidated in July explicitly to give those answers more context to draw on.
What is themis?
themis is back to adding real resampling algorithms after a documentation-heavy stretch.
themis supplies recipes steps for handling class imbalance in tidymodels. The 1.0.x line was consumed by documentation accuracy, message translation and internal consistency work. Version 1.1.0 returns to substance with two new under-sampling methods.

Reporting features now exist mainly to feed the AI layer sitting on top of them.
◆ Current state
AgencyAnalytics is shipping steadily across two tracks. The visible one is reporting ergonomics for agencies managing many clients: regex and contains filtering on custom metrics, client tags applied in bulk, and a Shares tab exposing every way a report has been sent. The second, and the one the roadmap language keeps pointing at, is AgencyAI — which gained saved reusable Skills in August, while the client Data tab was consolidated in July explicitly to give those answers more context to draw on.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is converting a reporting tool into an analysis layer, and monetising the AI separately — AI Tracker went to open beta as a metered add-on at twenty-five dollars per 250 credits rather than as an included feature. Each structural change now gets justified by what it gives AgencyAI to work with, which suggests the reporting surface is being reorganised around the assistant rather than the other way round. Data-source maintenance continues underneath, including removing a Microsoft Ads metric the upstream API could not support accurately.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Data tab to keep absorbing client context types as promised, and further metered AI capability to follow AI Tracker out of beta on the same credit model.

2.5ANALYTICS
themis is back to adding real resampling algorithms after a documentation-heavy stretch.
◆ Current state
themis supplies recipes steps for handling class imbalance in tidymodels. The 1.0.x line was consumed by documentation accuracy, message translation and internal consistency work. Version 1.1.0 returns to substance with two new under-sampling methods.
◆ Where it's heading
The package grows by adding algorithms rather than restructuring itself. tomek() was rewritten to handle multiple classes and drop the unbalanced dependency, case weights arrived at 1.0.0, and cluster-centroid and condensed-nearest-neighbour under-sampling arrive now — each shipped as both a recipes step and a direct-implementation function.
◆ Prediction
Expect further under- and over-sampling methods in the same paired form, as the package fills out coverage of the standard class-imbalance literature.
