# Analytics Studio

> **A visual, no-code pipeline builder for hiring market intelligence.**

Analytics Studio lets you build custom data analyses by connecting visual nodes on a canvas — no SQL, no code, no waiting for engineering. If you can describe what you want to know, you can build it in Studio.

---

## What Is It?

Think of it like a visual spreadsheet on steroids. Instead of formulas in cells, you have **nodes** on a canvas connected by **edges**. Data flows from left to right through your pipeline:

```
Source -> Filter -> Group By -> Aggregate -> Chart
```

Each node performs one step: selecting data, filtering it, grouping it, computing metrics, or visualizing results.

## Quick Example

**Question:** "What are the top 10 most common roles in the market?"

**Pipeline:**
1. Source: **Vacancies** — loads all vacancy data
2. **Group By: role** — groups by standardized role name
3. **Aggregate: COUNT** — counts vacancies per role
4. **Sort: count DESC** — orders by count, highest first
5. **Limit: 10** — keeps only top 10
6. **Chart: Bar** — visualizes as a bar chart

**Result:** A bar chart showing the 10 most in-demand roles.

Time to build: **under 30 seconds**.
