Discovery Engine (Disco) is a specialized analytics service that finds statistically validated, novel patterns in tabular datasets. Unlike traditional data analysis tools, it focuses on discovering unexpected relationships and insights that might be missed by conventional approaches.
Core Capabilities
Plan Management: Browse available subscription tiers with pricing details, from free tier (Explorer) to premium plans with higher credit allowances.
Cost Estimation: Get upfront estimates for credit consumption, processing time, and resource requirements before running analyses on your data.
Data Analysis Pipeline: Upload tabular datasets, run sophisticated pattern discovery algorithms, monitor processing status, and retrieve detailed results including statistical significance (p-values) and novelty scores.
Account & Billing: Create accounts with email verification, manage Stripe payment methods, purchase credit packs ($1 per credit, sold in $20 packs), and switch between subscription plans.
Domain Model
The service operates on a credit-based system where each analysis consumes credits based on data complexity. Results include discovered patterns with statistical conditions, significance levels, and novelty rankings to help identify genuinely surprising insights rather than obvious correlations.
Key Considerations
This is a discovery-focused tool, not a general-purpose data analyst. It excels at finding unexpected patterns but requires tabular data format. Monitor your credit balance as complex datasets can consume significant resources. The verification and payment flows require multiple steps - complete email verification before attempting billing operations.
