Data flavored

Numbers with an attitude problem. Charts, stats and analysis delivered with rather more opinion than a spreadsheet would give you.

All 9 are free, need no account, and stream their answer as it is written.

Stat Sanity Check

Does that number survive contact with arithmetic?

Survey Question Critic

Your questions are leading the witness.

Whitepaper Translator

Strip the jargon, find the substance.

⚙︎ Analysis for reading comprehension only. Never a signal to buy anything.

Privacy Policy Red Flags

What they do with you after you click accept.

⚙︎ Plain-English reading, not legal advice.

Roast This Chart

Every crime against data visualization.

⚙︎ Describe the chart in words — image upload would need a vision model.

Steelman Both Sides

The strongest version of the view you hate.

Congressional Trade Roaster

Snarky newsletter about what your reps bought.

⚙︎ MVP: synthetic trades. Wire a real feed (e.g., capitoltrades.com / house disclosures) to make it pop.

Domain Name Therapist

20 domains + brutal vibe critique.

⚙︎ MVP: no live WHOIS check. Availability is a vibe call, not a fact.

Tweet Autopsy

Reverse-engineer why it went viral.
