Value Proposition

For Analysts, Product Managers, Researchers and the Wikimedia Community interested in analytics

Who are dissatisfied with a lack of easy to get & granular pageview data

Our Product is a table you can query via SQL

That provides useful breakdowns (dimensions) while maintaining privacy

Unlike our current pageview data dumps.

Deliverable

It is possible the pageview count for a particular bucket will be so small it could be used to identify someone because perhaps only one person could have produced a particular pageview. Therefore when pageview counts are lower than X, the database will return 0.
