Check the story a chart tells
Look beyond an attractive chart and test the explanation beside it. Use a fictional dataset to distinguish counts, percentages, and causal claims before repeating the story in a report.

Separate claims from evidence
Fictional support data: 8 of 10 requests were completed in week one and 12 of 20 in week two. Staffing and request difficulty also changed. Classify what the displayed sample supports, then inspect the explanation.
- Checked
- 0 of 3
- Matches the sample
- 0 of 3
These are authored sample claims and evidence. Unsupported here means not established by this evidence, not necessarily false in the world.
For the moments like this.
A presentation shows a rising line and says that a recent change improved performance. You want to understand whether the data supports that conclusion or merely shows two things happening together. Inspect a small fictional set of counts and conditions, then decide which claims can safely appear in the accompanying explanation.
What becomes possible
AI can help propose chart explanations and reveal questions about denominators, missing observations, and comparisons. Here you classify three statements using visible sample counts rather than trusting the chart's confident caption. This sample asks you to judge three claims against visible authored evidence. The explanations are prepared examples, not external facts or live AI verification.
