Data Visualization Consultant

Most teams don’t need another dashboard builder. They need someone to tell them which chart is lying.

The Datalabs Agency brings over twelve years of analytics and data visualization design experience. We’ll bring relevant advice, workarounds, and solutions from our portfolio of past client projects. We can suggest options and solve big problems in the usability, structure, and visualizations found in your existing project. We can also discuss the challenges found in your teams’ workflow and abilities when comes to visualizing data. And finally, we have a vast knowledge of the tools and the software that you may be using, be it Power BI, PowerPoint, or Tableau.

What does a data visualization consultant cost?

Sessions book in one-hour blocks, four hours maximum. An hour is enough to review one dashboard properly. Half a day covers a reporting suite, or one dashboard plus the argument about who owns it.

What do you actually get back?

A visually-annotated PDF. Chart changes, icon ideas, layout and grid tweaks, marked up on your own screens rather than described in the abstract.

You also get the reasoning. A recommendation you can’t defend in your next stakeholder meeting is worth nothing, so we tell you why, not just what.

Consultant or designer: which do you need?

Hire a designer when you know what you want built and you need someone to build it.

Hire a consultant when the dashboard already exists, something is wrong with it, and nobody internally can say what. We find the what. You decide whether we build the fix or your team does.

How long does a review take?

You book the hour. We work before it. By the time we talk we have been through your dashboard and marked it up, so the session goes on decisions instead of orientation.
