2003	Displayr founded in Sydney, Australia. Displayr is a privately-owned Australian company. Displayr started as a data science consultancy, specializing in pricing and product design (choice modeling).

2005	Coding started on Q. The goal of the product was as a replacement for SPSS, with the specific objectives of: Automating standard data analysis tasks, so that researchers could perform routine work without needing to use syntax (e.g., top two boxes, share of wallet, updating trackers). Automating the use of modern statistical tests on tables (e.g., multiple comparison corrections, appropriate treatment of weights). Using state-of-the-art analysis methods for routine data analysis problems (e.g., mixed generalized logit models, latent class analysis). Creating a product that could be used with minimal training.
