Limitations & Assumptions
The Studio visualizes your data inputs; it is not a valuation tool. Representations should be verified for audited use.
- Embedded datasets are pulled from public sources.
- Currently supports English-language inputs only.
- Regional holidays may require manual date adjustments.
- Consult a licensed analyst before financial publication.
Privacy & Data Handling
Your data is processed server-side for functionality. We prioritize the security of your design assets and proprietary inputs.
- Uploaded files are removed within 3 hours of inactivity.
- Design assets are never indexed for public visibility.
- Usage metrics are anonymized to improve accuracy.
- No behavioral data is sold to third parties.
Tips for Best Results
- Ensure your data files are clean, well-formatted, and zipped under 10MB.
- Use predefined templates to save time; custom layouts can take longer to fine-tune.
- Consider contrast levels for charts—especially for boardroom usage with projected or printed materials.
- Preview your designs before exporting to catch misalignment or title truncation.
- When using logos or icons, adhere to SVG format to maintain clarity at all sizes.
- Use regional filters accurately—incorrect market segment selection can skew chart logic.
