About
Making public data easier to understand
Findings exists because public data should be useful to everyone, not just data specialists. It connects to trusted open datasets, runs statistical analysis, and explains the results in plain language so you can answer questions with evidence.
What you get
Choose one or two datasets and ask a question. Findings returns ranked findings, visualizations, and clear explanations you can understand without a statistics background. Every finding is backed by a computed result and linked to its underlying data.
Where the data comes from
Findings uses authoritative public datasets, including data.gov, the Federal Reserve (FRED), the World Bank, and NYC Open Data. Each dataset includes its source and licensing information. Findings is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by these providers.
Built by
Findings is built by Asra Saeed. I started it because I love using data to answer questions, and I believe more people should be able to explore public data and uncover meaningful insights without needing to be a statistician. Findings is my attempt to make rigorous analysis more accessible, transparent, and easy to understand.
If you have feedback, questions, or ideas, I'd love to hear from you!
Who it's for
Anyone curious about what public data can tell us, from journalists and students to policy staff, researchers, community organizers, and everyday users. If the data is open, you shouldn't need a data team to learn from it.
