Datatable: Data table and stats presentation operations

Datatable matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around publishing accurate tables, charts, and stats without manual rework, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Data presentation breaks trust when tables, charts, or stats drift from source data or render poorly. The entry wedge is to check table/chart rendering, data freshness, and client-ready reporting across important pages.

Monetization

Freemium baseline check with paid data-source integrations, scheduled checks, chart limits, exports, and client reporting.
