This seems like a nice layer between some data scientists that might be used to working with csv's or some subset of databases, and a dev team that happens to be using another subset of db's. Data scientists could throw some results into a csv and front end devs could quickly pull it in as a rough version of what the actual API would look like to get started on presentation of the data. First pass mockups could be done taking minimal time away from the engineering team, iterate these with stakeholders, and finally implement the final API with the fully fleshed out front end.
