People are asking real questions every day:
Why is everything more expensive?
Is my income actually improving?
Something is happening globally, how does it affect where I am?
The answers exist.
But they’re buried in long reports, PDFs, and data nobody has the time or patience to understand.
That didn’t sit right with us.
It's why we started DataExplained (
@dataexplain)
We're not a team of hundreds, but we are trained journalists, visual illustrators, and data analysts.
It comes down to this:
Data stories become more understood when we’re able to explain contexts in their simplest, true form.
We want to be able to take a credible data, make it understandable through visualization, and then provide context behind the numbers in a balanced, ELI5 way.
Because what’s the point of data if people can’t actually use it?
Some platforms present data in a way that feels too academic. Others simplify it but strip away the context.
We’re building something different.
A place where data is:
1. visual
2. clear
3. and actually useful in real life
We want to help people understand the world they live in, using numbers that already exist, just explained better.
If you’ve ever:
1. questioned what’s really going on
2. argued a point and wished you had the data to back it up
3. or just wanted clarity in a noisy world
Then you’re exactly who we’re building for.
