Instadeq is a live, notebook‑style environment that builds reactive dashboards from decks and cards linked as a dependency graph, updating charts instantly when sources change. It ingests CSV, Excel, Google Sheets and nested JSON and offers a magic wand that auto-suggests parsing and color‑mapping operations, producing editable calculated fields. A structured query plus structured formula editor drives per‑row logic. Deployed since September 2020, one installation has 700+ users, a default 100k‑row practical limit, and experienced users build dashboards in ~10–15 minutes.
