I came here to post exactly this. Many professional Chartbeat users spend a lot of time looking at their dashboards and get an intuitive feel for how their site typically performs. From that, they can glean many insights, even some which they can't exactly describe.
Chartbeat's UI tries to provide context. The dial shows the concurrents number in the context of your 30-day performance, the chart overlays your current performance on top of the same day last week, and the traffic sources show typical values, for example.
That being said, we are adding more feed-type features. For example, we already offer traffic spike detection on a page level in the higher-priced Publishing product. The reason many of these features aren't present in regular Chartbeat is that they require data scientists to create a model, developers to build a system around it, and servers to actually run the calculations. None of this is free. :)
