Rapid Insight Construct
By EAB
Rapid Insight is a self-service analytics platform developed by EAB, tailored for higher education institutions aiming to democratize data access and streamline decision-making. The platform comprises three core modules: Construct, a code-free data ingestion workspace that connects to various campus systems and automates data preparation; Predict, which enables users to build predictive models with a single click, identifying key variables for outcomes like enrollment and retention; and Bridge, offering cloud-based dashboards for customizable data visualization and collaboration. Rapid Insight empowers users across departments—such as institutional research, advising, and administration—to analyze data efficiently without requiring technical expertise, thereby fostering a data-informed campus culture.
Rapid Insight Construct is part of EAB’s suite of data analytics tools, originally developed by Rapid Insight before its acquisition by EAB. Construct is designed for ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflows — helping institutions, especially in education, prepare and manage data for analytics.
Rapid Insight was acquired by EAB (Education Advisory Board) in 2020. EAB itself is a well-funded private education consultancy and tech firm serving thousands of institutions across North America.
Construct is a drag-and-drop ETL tool designed for non-technical users. Key features include:
Its low-code interface enables institutional researchers and admins to create repeatable data workflows without needing SQL or scripting knowledge.
Post-acquisition, Construct has been integrated more tightly with EAB’s other analytics and student success platforms. Expansion focuses on strengthening support for higher education analytics.
