This is a great question, and touches on one of the challenges I've been having positioning Datasette.

Is Datasette an ELT tool? That's part of the ground it covers, but it's not a primary focus.

Is it a visualization tool? Same problem.

I worry that picking a specific vertical for it instantly limits me, in terms of how people think about the product, how pricing can work and suchlike.

But the alternative is trying to define a new category entirely, which is absurdly difficult.
