Thanks for the info! So, let me apply this to a real case scenario:

I have a grantee who is developing a tool. He is hosting it on his own because that way he can run google analytics on it, and he understand usage. One specific reason he needs this data is because he wants to evaluate the outcomes of his grant. 

So, am I interpreting this correctly: if he were to host that tool via labs, he would be unable to track that information as it currently stands, since he isn't staff?

Thanks again for the help - 

I'll ask in Labs for you Jessie.  I don't think there are any technical reasons people can't use Google Analytics on a Labs instance.  The only thing I can think of is that it'd be nice if people used something Open Source like PiWik.  But I'll ask and report back in a bit.

OK, Coren responded in a nanosecond as usual :)

Google Analytics or any other analytics solution is strictly forbidden by Labs rules *unless* there's a landing page with a disclaimer that if the user continues, their behavior will be tracked.  Here are a couple of resources you can pass on to grantees:
