Send the question first, then the numbers.

Email is the way to reach us, and it keeps a written record of every scope. Put your question in the first line, so we can tell quickly whether a chart is the right answer.

If your mail app does not open, copy the address above into a new message. We read every message in the order it arrives.

What to include

Five lines make a first reply possible.

  1. Your group or business

    One sentence about what it does and who it serves.

  2. The question

    The question the chart should answer, written as a question.

  3. The reader and the date

    Who will see the picture, and the date it is needed by.

  4. Where the numbers live

    The spreadsheet, form or notebook they sit in now, and roughly how many rows there are.

  5. Any counting rules

    Rules you already use, such as how refunds or cancellations are treated.

Before you attach anything

Remove personal details first.

  • Remove names, home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of individuals. Group names and category names are fine to keep.
  • Never send passwords, bank or card details, or identity numbers. We will not need them.
  • For a large file, send a sample of a few rows first. We will say whether we need the rest.

Not financial, legal, or medical advice. If the numbers you send guide money, health or legal decisions, a qualified person should check the final picture.

What happens next

A short exchange, then a written scope.

  1. We reply with questions

    We send back the questions we still need answered before we can say whether a chart is the right tool.

  2. We agree a scope

    A short written scope sets out what we will deliver, what you will need to supply and the date it is needed by.

  3. We begin

    Work starts once the scope is agreed by both sides. Nothing begins before that.
