    - `type` 'question' | 'metric' | 'model' — All acceptable card types. Previously (< 49), we only had 2 card types: question and model, which were differentiated using the boolean `dataset` column. Soon we'll have more card types (e.g: metric) and we will longer be able to use a boolean column to differentiate between all types. So we've added a new `type` column for this purpose. Migrating all the code to use `report_card.type` will be quite an effort, we decided that we'll migrate it gradually.
