The main use case is really custom analysis, so that people can do whatever custom data mining they want.
But I expect once you get users engaged with a simple interface you'll get much more.
But even the existing script is quite useful and gives you a lot of information. It's also very easy to extend to everyone knowing SQLite.
Can you do all these things the simple script does?
