Analytics module---proposal
## The Problem:
Top-down decision making and analytics
## Why:
So what if it's top-down??
* -- Many times highly wasteful analytics(aka questions asked) that don't make sense from
viewpoint on the ground.
* -- A strong separation between decision-makers and executors
* -- Lack of skin-in-the game for the people who are the executioners of a decision and share the
biggest risk of executing it.
* -- Distorted feedback about the impact of employee's work on the organizational goals lead to
power structures climbed by individual's higher on the dark triad personalities
* -- These individuals tend to be on the exploitative/finite-sum game champions and tend to play
[HIWTYL](https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2011/10/14/the-gervais-principle-v-heads-i-win-tails-you-lose/) type gamesagainst others below them and each other.
## The solution:
* -- A chat bot based interface(to analytics) available to any employee with access to the erpnext erp user.
## What:
* -- NLP based interface can free the non-tech users from technical details/know-how(like tables
etc.) needed
* -- Chat bot embedded in any sub-form/module means, we can do context based guesses faster and
give a experience that looks magical/AI-like. Therefore that can be a big product
differentiator.
* -- Pretty much no access/control as to who can access which (pre-built/batch-processed) reports.
* -- Some paid access(for CEOs/top decision makers) to get more advanced (and on-demand
for ex: live forecasting, exploratory and interactive interface to live data etc.)analytics that take up more RAM and CPU resources for the servers.
## How:
* -- TBD.. but
* -- A metadata generic analytic class that cuts across modules
* -- Another class that translates to and from NLP??
