Open data, followed all the way down to one person inside it.
Every piece here starts with a public dataset and ends with a story. The numbers can be checked: any figure set in mono opens its own evidence in a column to the right, so you never have to leave the sentence you are reading to find out whether it is true.

01What Makes Writing Writingai & workOne dataset measures the same thing twice — once by breaking each job into cognitive abilities, once by rating the job whole. The two answers point in opposite directions, and the job they disagree about most, out of 271, is writing.02The Line Someone DrewinteractiveBefore anyone can say “heavy screen users are N times more likely to be depressed”, two lines have to be drawn — and published claims report neither. Move both yourself: the same 4,810 teenagers will give you any answer from 1.15× to 2.97×.03How Many People Is a Wagewages & povertyIndonesia sets a minimum wage province by province and publishes, separately, the monthly cost of keeping one person out of poverty. Dividing the first by the second answers in people: in the median province, one legal minimum wage holds 4.77 of them above the line. Move the household yourself and watch the verdict change.
