Still need to get started?
Why not let us spot you on the heavy lifting? Together it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1) Identify a dataset and ask a question (To lighten the load, we’ve put together some datasets, ready to go with question options - in case you’re not sure what data to use or what question to ask.)
