How It Works
Our expertise and suite of proprietary tools allow us to collect, clean, combine, analyze and enrich data from public and private data sources to create new datasets.
Here are the essential steps of a custom dataset project:
Consultation
A meeting between your team and ours, to discuss what data will be most helpful to enhancing your mission or current strategy.
Research
Our team will scour the internet for new data we can collect or existing data we can use or enrich. In this stage, we can also evaluate data you may already have available.
Analysis and Enhancement
This is where the real magic happens. Our team will do the work to turn the selected data into something new and aligned with the project’s goals. This often includes data cleaning, additional analysis, and several rounds of internal QA.
Review
Our team and yours will review the completed datasets together and ensure that it meets the high standards and goals of all parties involved.
Create Data Story
Turning data into a narrative is a critical step in making this work connect with a wider audience. Our experts in SEO, writing, and data visualization can assist in creating a clear and user-friendly piece of content for your website.
