Key Insights

Our first step was to understand the underlying data sources/sets and determine if any clean ups were required. Next, we mapped out the key filters needed to acquire the specific data cuts the client was looking for

A database was setup using MySQL where all data was stored, and queries were run using our schematic. Using MySQL, we were able to query the data sets, create multiple views, and work with the client on an ongoing basis to adjust filters

Our final outputs were then sent to the client where they could use their findings and drill/filter down into sub-level data groups
