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.

I don't know about the technical hurdles,  but note that there is currently a lively community discussion about privacy aspects of Labs, and undoubtedly there are quite a few community members who would be less than excited about a tool that routinely tracks them with Google Analytics.
