What is Holistics?
Holistics builds AI governance and docs-as-analytics in parallel, shipping both weekly
Holistics is in an active multi-track build across three distinct areas: AI governance (trace AI-triggered queries, per-user MCP access, data redaction for AI), self-service intelligence (anomaly detection, root-cause analysis), and a UX overhaul (new universal sidebar, dark mode). The pace is 3–5 releases per week with a high proportion of user-visible changes.
What is June?
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.

Holistics builds AI governance and docs-as-analytics in parallel, shipping both weekly
◆ Current state
Holistics is in an active multi-track build across three distinct areas: AI governance (trace AI-triggered queries, per-user MCP access, data redaction for AI), self-service intelligence (anomaly detection, root-cause analysis), and a UX overhaul (new universal sidebar, dark mode). The pace is 3–5 releases per week with a high proportion of user-visible changes.
◆ Where it's heading
Two directions are clearly compounding. First, AI governance — each release adds a new layer of admin control or observability over how AI agents access data, positioning Holistics for enterprise buyers who need to audit AI behavior in the warehouse. Second, Markdown as data catalog — integrating documentation directly with models and dashboards points toward a data layer where docs live in code rather than a separate UI. The navigation overhaul clears the UX runway for both.
◆ Prediction
Holistics will continue deepening AI observability (attribution, access controls, and data redaction all shipped within weeks suggest a coordinated feature set) and extend the Markdown-as-data-catalog concept toward lineage visualization or schema documentation enforcement.
June
7.5ANALYTICS
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
◆ Current state
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
◆ Where it's heading
The May 2025 batch is internally consistent: every release widens what June can model (Custom Objects), how flexibly customers can compute on it (SQL traits), or how easily it slots into existing data plumbing (PostHog source). All three target the B2B-SaaS persona that wants more than user/account analytics. After this burst the changelog goes quiet in the input — it's not clear from the entries alone whether the product moved to a slower cadence, switched publishing channels, or paused.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction about what comes next. If publishing resumes from the same direction, the obvious extensions are deeper integrations with reverse-ETL or warehouse-native sources and richer pre-built health-score templates on top of SQL computed traits.
