Could you build this?
No A complete enterprise-grade BI suite with row-level security, multi-tenancy, report bursting, embedded analytics, and SQL query engines represents thousands of engineering hours.
What it would actually take: Requires a large-scale architecture typically built on Java/Go or Python for the query engine (e.g., Apache Calcite, DuckDB, Trino connectors), complex semantic layers for data modeling, and robust access control engines (RLS/RBAC). It needs an extensive visualization engine and enterprise identity integration (SAML/OIDC), requiring a mature data engineering team.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a analytics & bi tool for Legal yet.
