Our Approach to Data
   Define the problem/need
   Review best practices, innovations elsewhereplan
   Identify potential data sources- public, private,
    scraped, MOUs
   Clean, process, geocode data: add value
   Perform analysis
   Communicate results
   Collect more data to evaluate the impact or success
    (feedback loops)
Stories?
   Narrative
   Require telling
   Require an audience
   Are social!
   Need meaning
   Convey meaning- and assume values
   They go somewhere- destinations
Data?
   Broad, static, cold
   Lack context
   Lack meaning
   Easily confused or misused
   Never run dry, never get used up
Can Data tell Stories?
Scale

   How   big is your story?
           Is it the size of one person?



                          Or a whole city?
