If there’s one thing guaranteed to drive an analyst to drink or violence, it’s a request to update a 500-slide Powerpoint deck with thousands of once-tidy datapoints into a wipe-right-on-click abomination. I suspect that marketers are doing everything in their power to drag us analysts into the mud, to suffer as they suffer.
