How to tell if you need help

Real-life signals that your data could be doing more work for you.

Bank Risk

The same KPI means different things in different teams

If credit, product, and compliance don’t agree on definitions, the dashboard becomes a debate instead of a tool.

Polling Uncertainty

A single headline number is doing too much

If your results need a footnote every time, it’s time for visuals that show margins, segments, and change over time.

Ops Speed

Reporting takes longer than deciding

If you’re exporting spreadsheets weekly, the system is asking for automation and a clearer hierarchy.

Public Trust

Stakeholders misread charts in meetings

If the chart needs narration to be safe, you likely need better annotation, scales, and accessible defaults.

Research Repeatability

Every new question means starting from scratch

If analysis lives in one person’s laptop, you need reusable templates and a reproducible workflow.

Product Focus

Your dashboard is a wall of numbers

If it’s hard to see what changed and why, you need structure: comparisons, targets, and a story thread.
