What we do
Data Collection & Analysis

Turning data into insights starts with asking the right questions and finding
the right data. We use our research and data management skills to collect, clean
and analyse data so it can be turned into useful, easy-to-understand insights.

We specialise in developing custom datasets that answer specific questions and
meet particular needs.

We customised or built unique datasets for projects such as our Coronavirus
Dashboard, #Say Her Name, and The School Toilets Limpopo Forgot.

Data Visualisation

Effective visualisations are more than just pretty graphics, they convey meaning
and impart insight in ways that words alone can’t.

We create visualisations for clients and we publish our own on our online
publication The Outlier.
