Every chart your reports need…

EXECUTIVE DATA VISUALISATION

CHARTS, MAPS AND DATA STORIES, EVERY MONTH, IN YOUR BRAND

Forty charts a month, one visual language...

THE CHART DEPARTMENT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HIRE

Your analysts can build a chart. Building forty of them a month in one visual language, each labelled with what it shows and sized for the report, the deck and the release, is a different job.

Send the numbers and the point you want made. The charts come back ready to publish, drawn in your brand, on a schedule you can plan a publishing calendar around.

Good analysis, slow to publish, and never twice the same

THE CHARTS ARE THE BOTTLENECK

A quarterly report ties up an analyst for a fortnight, and most of that fortnight goes on formatting. Colours drift between teams. Two charts of the same measure disagree on scale.

The finding everyone worked for arrives as a default Excel bar, and the reader has to dig for it. Send the data and the point instead, and the analyst goes back to analysis.

Thirteen drawings from last month. Same system, same brand, thirteen different questions.

Introductory rate, first four clients...

FOUR DATA STORIES A MONTH

A data story is one chart-led sequence on a single question: up to 10 charts or maps, each carrying the one line that says what it shows, built from your numbers and drawn in your brand. Four every month, five working days each.

From $1,900 a month, with a one-off set-up quoted once: your palette, type and chart rules built into the system so every chart after that comes out right. Month to month, no lock-in. An introductory rate for the first four subscriptions, held for twelve months.

Three ways the same chart arrives...

STATIC, ANIMATED, INTERACTIVE

STATIC

A chart drawn once, at print or screen size, for reports, board papers, decks and the press release. PNG, PDF and the layered file. Every data story arrives this way.

ANIMATED

The same chart built up in motion, for video, for social, and for the screen behind a speaker. A rendered video and the project file. On request, inside the month.

INTERACTIVE

A web version the reader moves through, when the numbers are worth exploring. Built in D3 and hosted wherever you like. Quoted per build.

An agentic chart system, 81 chart types, your brand

What you get every month

An agent drafts every chart from your table and I edit each one before it reaches you. That is what makes the volume affordable and the standard repeatable.

One visual language

Every chart comes out of one system, so a bar in January matches a bar in June, across teams and across reports.

81 chart types

Past bars and lines: sankeys, bump charts, waterfalls, cartograms, beeswarms. The chart that fits the point, not the one the tool defaults to.

Maps that hold up

World, country, state and council maps drawn from open boundary data, with the terrain, the labels and the projection done properly.

Locked to your brand

Your palette, type and chart rules are set once, then every chart is drawn from them. Nothing arrives off-brand.

Moving versions

Any chart as an animated version for video, for social, or for the screen behind a speaker, built from the same file.

Interactive when it earns it

A web version when the reader genuinely needs to explore the numbers, built in D3 and hosted wherever you like.

Five working days

Each data story is drawn, checked and back with you inside a working week of the numbers arriving.

Your data stays yours

Work happens under your NDA, and nothing you send is ever used to train a model.

Interactive and static pieces built for organisations around the world

EXAMPLES OF THE WORK

Three interactive pieces built for clients — click any of them. The subscription produces the same standard as static charts for reports and decks, animated versions for video, and interactive builds when the numbers are worth exploring.

Questions about

the subscription?

What counts as one data story?

One chart-led sequence on a single question: up to 10 charts or maps, each with the line that says what it shows. A quarterly performance update, a market note, a program evaluation, the chart pack inside a board paper — each of those is one story.

Who is it built for?

Teams that publish on a rhythm. Strategy, investor relations and internal communications inside corporates. Finance especially: fund managers, economists and research houses producing regular market commentary. Government agencies publishing recurring performance and program reporting.

What do you need from me?

The numbers in whatever format you already have — Excel, CSV, a database extract, a Power BI or Tableau export — and the point you want each chart to make. If the point is not settled yet, that is the first conversation, and it is usually the valuable one.

Is AI doing the work?

Partly, and openly. An agent drafts each chart from your data: choosing the form, writing the line that says what it shows, and drawing it in your brand. That is what makes the volume affordable. I review and edit every chart before it goes back, and the judgment about what your data says stays mine. Your data is never used to train a model. That is a term of the engagement, not a setting, and what may and may not touch an AI tool is agreed in writing before anything starts.

What is the set-up before the first month?

Your palette, type, chart rules and any accessibility requirements are built into the chart system once, so every chart after that comes out right without being corrected. It is quoted as a one-off, based on how much of your brand is already written down.

Does it matter where we are?

No. The service is digital and the work is remote: numbers in, charts back, wherever you are. The schedule is set by your publishing calendar rather than a time zone, and the work has gone to organisations around the world since 2011.

Can you match our brand?

Yes. Your palette, type and chart rules are set up once as a style, and every chart after that is drawn from it. If you have a style guide I work to it. If you do not, building one is part of the first month.

What about confidential or embargoed numbers?

I work under your NDA and on your files. Where the data cannot leave your environment, say so early and we work out the arrangement before anything starts. Numbers under embargo stay with me until you publish.
