Just my opinion but any software that would do such an analysis would necessarily be data-driven, so I'd focus on collecting the data. I'd keep it simple and rely on a regular DB like MySQL and rely on column sorting to find interesting patterns. If you need more analysis then I'd just use SQL SELECT statements right in the DBMS itself. If you save the SQL statements you can run them again without having to retype them.

If you ever develop this to where it's working and want to have a front end then somebody with skills in a programing language like Java or C# can fancy it up. To me it's not worth it to think about the fancy steps until getting the data right, and getting a few SQL statements working that prove that you have some worth while data.

Even without the SQL statements you can use the sort feature of any DBMS to sort by one row as primary, and another row as secondary, and pretty much begin to discover patterns in the data. If you get that far, and you find interesting data, it's easy to take it to the next step (SQL SELECT statements) and then to a final step of having somebody build a front end for it (which is nothing more than automating the SQL statements and presenting the data in a more readable manner.)

Good luck. It sounds like you have a good test bed of data!
