Data visualization, the answer at a glance
A chart turns a table into something you can read at a glance. Each chart we make answers one question in plain labels, and each bar traces back to the records behind it.
What you get
One chart per question
Each chart answers one question, so you don’t have to hunt for the point.
Plain labels
The title says the takeaway, and the labels use your team’s words.
Charts you can check
Each chart traces back to the records behind it.
How it works
Start from the answer
We take the result from analysis and pick the one comparison that shows it.
Pick the chart
Bars to compare groups, lines to show change over time.
Title it with the point
The title states the takeaway, like “You have the fewest reviews.”
Share it
You get a chart to share with your team, and a next step to test.
A worked example
Sample records from a fictional bakery, the same one that runs through the overview.

Reviews by shop
The other shops average 217 reviews. You have the fewest.
Questions owners ask
Have another one? Ask it on a call.
Which chart fits my data?
Bars compare groups, like shops. Lines show change over time, like monthly orders.
Can I check the numbers myself?
Yes. Each chart traces back to the records behind it.
What do I do with the chart?
Make the next call. Data gives you more to go on than a hunch, and you still make the call.
The other stages
Each stage feeds the next: mining, cleaning, analysis, then visualization.
