That's why I'm curious what sort of questions they are answering with this tool. If the bulk of their questions are a variant of SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) FROM table, then yes, this would be convenient to have. But if their questions start to revolve around transaction cohorting or path analysis where there are potentially hundreds of millions to billions of transaction_ids with some gnarly JOINs thrown in for good measure, I would be surprised to see this scale.
