What is Fulcrum?
Fulcrum ships Follow Mode to iOS and Android and tightens MCP sign-in.
Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, released Follow Mode on iOS and Android 2611.0.0, keeping the map centred on the collector, and Android now accepts a required GPS accuracy as fine as 0.1 m. The weekly web release redesigned the MCP authorization page to show the requesting client and organization, and fixed blank Report Builder PDFs and App MCP form validation. The Insights AI assistant opened to all customers in October.
What is Tinylytics?
Tinylytics adds ten interface languages and keeps SEO audits on monitoring-only sites.
Tinylytics now offers ten more interface languages plus British English, keeps SEO audits running on monitoring-only sites and cleans up its content checks. Last week brought account-wide IP ignore rules and the monitoring-only mode, and October added a simpler embed script, cloud and Tor traffic exclusion and an AI-ranked SEO audit for Ultra.

Fulcrum
6.3ANALYTICS
Fulcrum ships Follow Mode to iOS and Android and tightens MCP sign-in.
◆ Current state
Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, released Follow Mode on iOS and Android 2611.0.0, keeping the map centred on the collector, and Android now accepts a required GPS accuracy as fine as 0.1 m. The weekly web release redesigned the MCP authorization page to show the requesting client and organization, and fixed blank Report Builder PDFs and App MCP form validation. The Insights AI assistant opened to all customers in October.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks continue: precision GPS for field crews, with external receivers and accuracy settings, and controlled access for outside AI assistants through the MCP server. Most releases are fixes on a weekly mobile and web cadence.
◆ Prediction
Expect the GPS integration to leave beta and the MCP server to move past alpha with OAuth as the default sign-in.
Tinylytics
5.0ANALYTICS
Tinylytics adds ten interface languages and keeps SEO audits on monitoring-only sites.
◆ Current state
Tinylytics now offers ten more interface languages plus British English, keeps SEO audits running on monitoring-only sites and cleans up its content checks. Last week brought account-wide IP ignore rules and the monitoring-only mode, and October added a simpler embed script, cloud and Tor traffic exclusion and an AI-ranked SEO audit for Ultra.
◆ Where it's heading
The weekly cadence continues, alternating data-quality fixes with features that let one account cover more sites and more users. Localisation is the first sign of a push beyond English-speaking indie site owners.
◆ Prediction
Expect further work on monitoring-only sites and the SEO audit, the two features the last two releases built on.
