This is potentially quite interesting to me we are having conversations on/off at work about data reporting, visualising etc., which is leading me to pay attention to related topics.

However, it's lacking in any context explaining what you're trying to achieve and why.

It's probably obvious to some people but for me, it's not, which I think is a shame.
