pushing the boundaries of data collection
in the work we all do, there are problems that we want to solve, and it seems like there isn’t the data available to support it.
sometimes when we look closer or ask experts, there is data that might be useful, but it’s either hard to get to, in a form that is hard to work with, or both!
opscotch makes useful data.
