    Having this functionality in Preset would be a massive win for any team doing spatial analytics—especially anyone trying to migrate over from Tableau.

    Right now, tools like Tableau handle this natively out of the box, whereas in Preset you currently have to enrich your data with a third-party dataset before passing it in. Specifically, Tableau natively supports:

    • Native Geographic Hierarchies: Automatically converting raw postcodes into boundary polygons across multiple postcode levels, without needing external spatial lookup files.

    • Zero-ETL Workflows: Letting users build maps instantly from basic data, without having to build, maintain, or join custom spatial pipelines in the background.
