About the work

A closer look.

You have a question you actually care about, and a hunch about the answer. I go find out. What you send: the question, in your words, and your best guess. Anything you already believe about it. What you get back, within 7 days: - one chart, titled with the finding, not the topic - the data file behind it (CSV), so you can re-run it yourself - a short note: where the numbers came from, and what surprised me I work from primary sources and public datasets, and I cross-check the numbers against a second source before I ship. If your question has no reachable data, I tell you before starting and you don't pay. I'd rather hand you a finding that contradicts your guess than one that flatters it. Working example: I charted whether Toronto's earliest sunset falls on its shortest day. It doesn't. The earliest sunset is 12 days earlier, and that gap is the whole point.
