## What it is
Evidence is an open-source business intelligence framework that lets you build interactive data reports and dashboards using SQL and Markdown, compiled into a fast static site. It serves as a code-based alternative to drag-and-drop BI tools and supports self-hosting or publishing to Evidence Studio.

## Use cases
- build interactive dashboards from SQL queries
- create data reports in markdown with charts
- self-host a BI tool instead of paying for drag-and-drop BI
- version-control analytics reports in git
- explore data with SQL and share results as a website
- build analytics pages with dbt models

## When to choose
- your team prefers code-based, version-controlled analytics over GUI BI tools
- you want to self-host dashboards as a static site
- you write SQL and want charts with minimal setup
- you want AI agents to author or maintain analytics

## When to avoid
- you need drag-and-drop dashboard building for non-technical users
- you need real-time streaming dashboards rather than compiled reports
- you want a full managed BI suite without any code
