Agreed. And I definitely make no claims about this being earth-shattering "data science". I just happened spend a few hours over the weekend making some plots and commenting about what I saw with some Python tools.

I'll also state that I am neither a data scientist nor a statistician. I'm a Python application engineer with a background in mechanical engineering, so that might help set the context a bit more.

Most companies don't need "earth-shattering 'data science'", they need a way convey a narrative with their information and maybe try to deduce something from it.

I work as a programmer at an architecture company and we do visualizations like this all the time for campus classroom usage for example. Is it groundbreaking? Of course not, but it helps the clients and designers a ton.
