Could you build this?
No Building a full-scale product analytics suite requires high-throughput event ingestion, scalable real-time OLAP columnar storage (like ClickHouse), identity resolution algorithms, and SDKs across multiple platforms.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a ClickHouse or DuckDB cluster for aggregation queries, Apache Kafka or a distributed queue for high-throughput ingestion, and SDKs in JS/Flutter/Node with client-side autocapture and session stitching. The hard engineering problems include high-frequency batching, distributed identity resolution (merging anonymous and identified user graphs), and fast funnel/retention query optimization across billions of event rows. This requires deep systems architecture and distributed database engineering expertise.

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