The Problem

Achieving impact requires good data but systems get messy, fragmented and difficult to use.

Juggling

You’re juggling files, tabs, versions, formats. However you organize them, it still feels like chaos.

Confused

It’s hard to get the team aligned on what data should be collected and why.

Presentation not ready

You've been asked to give an update but your data's never presentation-ready.
