@azeveco Hi,
What about a Analytics module inside Togglefy that would perform like this:

Togglefy::Analytics
# => for (assignable)
# RETURNS an object that can be filtered by
# assignable filter object, we build the query with assignable filters
# 
# => scan
# RETURNS an object that scanned the database for all assignables
# and the features statistics

user_togglefy_analytics = Togglefy::Analytics.for(:assignable) # assignable => User, Subscription, etc

user_togglefy_analytics.track(:with_features).filters({group: :x, tenant_id: :y, status: :active})
# => returns an object
# {
#  count: 12,
#  percentage: 20, (related to total number of assignables)
#  assignable: User,
#  group: x,
#  tenant_id: y,
#  status: active
# }
# 
user_togglefy_analytics.track(:with_features)
# => returns an object
# {
#  count: 57,
#  percentage: 95,
#  assignable: User,
#  active: 54,
#  inactive: 3
# }
user_togglefy_analytics.track(:without_features)
# => returns an object
# {
#   count: 3,
#   percentage: 5,
#   assignable: User,
# } 

Togglefy::Analytics.scan
# => returns an object
# {
#  user_assignable:
#     {
#       with_features: 57,
#       without_features: 3,
#       x_role: {...}
#       x_tenant: { ...}
#     }
#  subscription_assignable:
#    {
#     ...
#    }
# }

What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts?

Great idea! I like your proposed implementation.

May I suggest another thing? Analytics by a specific feature would be great too.

Explanation

If the product team needs to know the statistics of a certain feature, to figure out if its being used, how's the retention, if its worth to keep redirecting efforts to it.

Example

Is the checkout feature being used? How many have this enabled? What's the percentage of our database using it?

That's the only thing I have as a suggestion. Feel free to implement it 🚀
