What is tern.mmrm?
An MMRM tabulation package that has published nothing since its 2024 CRAN releases.
tern.mmrm wraps mixed models for repeated measures into the tern tabulation and plotting layer used by teal clinical modules. The visible history ends with three CRAN releases in mid-to-late 2024; before that the feed carries only automated version bumps from 2022, three of which have just been backfilled into the record. The most recent substantive change adds axis limit arguments to the LS-means plot.
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.

tern.mmrm
0.0ANALYTICS
An MMRM tabulation package that has published nothing since its 2024 CRAN releases.
◆ Current state
tern.mmrm wraps mixed models for repeated measures into the tern tabulation and plotting layer used by teal clinical modules. The visible history ends with three CRAN releases in mid-to-late 2024; before that the feed carries only automated version bumps from 2022, three of which have just been backfilled into the record. The most recent substantive change adds axis limit arguments to the LS-means plot.
◆ Where it's heading
Content per release is thin and largely organisational: a maintainer change, replacing scda with random.cdisc.data in vignettes, and adapting to new {mmrm} versions. The package appears to be in maintenance, tracking its upstream dependency rather than developing independently. The 2022 entries now visible are release-automation commits, not releases in any meaningful sense.
◆ Prediction
Nothing here signals new functionality; the realistic next event is another compatibility release when {mmrm} or {rtables} changes underneath it.
Usermaven
8.8ANALYTICS
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.
