Could you build this?
No ClickBench Playground runs SQL queries across more than 110 real, live analytical database engines simultaneously, requiring immense distributed infrastructure and maintenance.
What it would actually take: The platform requires managing and provisioning over 110 distinct relational, columnar, and vector database systems (from ClickHouse to Snowflake to obscure OLAP engines), pre-loaded with uniform benchmark datasets. It requires an elastic query routing backend, sandboxed execution environments, and substantial cloud compute resources to host and scale dozens of persistent database daemons.

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