Data helps explain why things are the way they are. It reveals trends, and shapes solutions to issues. And, in this day and age, we have access to more of it than ever before.<\/p>\n
But data can also be daunting. Uncovering meaning within it can require sifting through thousands\u2014or even millions\u2014of points, while also knowing what to look for. Then there\u2019s the matter of relating those discoveries to a wider audience in an easily understandable way.<\/p>\n

Highlighting specific examples can serve as a gateway into a potentially overwhelming set of data. Doing so gives the audience an anchor around which they can contextualize the full scope of information.<\/p>\n
