What Evidence does
Evidence is a business intelligence tool built as code, with an open-source core. Teams write reports and dashboards as Markdown files that contain SQL and components, stored in a Git repository. It includes an analytics agent that answers data questions and can be customized with context and skills. Other named features include page-level access control, theme settings, scheduled emails, PDF and XLSX exports, usage analytics, and Git-based deployment with branch previews. The product is aimed at internal analytics teams, teams building embedded or white-labeled analytics, and enterprises that need SSO and audit logs. The page does not state a pricing model, links to a pricing page, and offers a sales conversation.
