This is a tough sell except maybe for product pre sales demos which you know the types of questions to expect, and the UX needs to be slick as hell.

For internal office presentation, I don’t see this being all that beneficial. Throwing multiple views and cuts of data in the appendix is pretty standard, and the data team usually collects those views as they decide what data to present to the business.

You’re right, unfortunately it is pretty standard, and I found it to be a massive waste of my time. I was the person on the data team prepping those appendix slides. Before meetings, I talked with key stakeholders to make sure I had created charts that would answer potential questions. Instead of working on strategic projects, I was herding cats and formatting charts. A lot of times I was just doing riffs off the same table or query.

This is of course for larger readouts and companies. At smaller companies & for non-critical presentations, I didn’t even have time to create appendix slides. So instead my audience ended up with a backlog of questions that would never be answered.

I think your challenge will be selling it to decision makers who, like the poster above, don't personally deal with that stuff and feel the pain.

Maybe if you could get analysts to create some of those reports for free until the decision makers see the value? I wish you success!

Thank you! It's an excellent point and why we're doing a freemium model. We think data connections and interactivity will help people communicate better with the decision makers.
