“It gets me so much further along. I can get a visualization, the underlying dataset, and the normalization so I know how it's being calculated. I can pull the dataset and have a short write up. We're talking 2 hours, minimum, worth of work that it's generated.”

“We've been sharing with our nonprofit community. They struggle, sometimes, to find this data, get granular, and usually have to search all kinds of sites to find the information.
