AI+ for Data Visualisation

Turn Numbers Into Stories People Understand

Charts that get read. Stories that get acted on.

Your charts are technically correct — and nobody reads them. The data is good; the presentation isn't landing. This book gives you the Chart Question Framework for selecting the right chart every time, the CAST Framework for turning five unordered charts into a three-minute argument, and a 27-prompt Data Visualisation Toolkit for AI-assisted creation and critique. Ten chapters, 8–12 hours of learning, built by an AI engineering firm.

Who this is for

Any professional who needs to present data to others — a policy analyst preparing a dashboard for ministers, a marketer creating a campaign performance deck, a finance professional visualising budget variances, a researcher presenting survey results, an operations manager reporting KPIs to leadership. Cross-industry by design: the skill is the same whether the data is clinical outcomes, customer churn, or public sector expenditure.

Also for:Professionals who already produce charts but want them to be clearer, more persuasive, and more efficiently produced with AI assistance. Also: professionals who have completed T3-29 and want to go further with the visualisation layer.

You’ll be able to
  • Select the appropriate chart type for a given analytical question and audience
  • Apply design fundamentals — colour, typography, layout, whitespace — to make charts clear and credible
  • Use AI to create, iterate, and refine data visualisations across common tools
  • Design a multi-panel dashboard for a specific audience and decision context
  • Structure a data story using the CAST Framework to guide an audience from context to decision
  • Adapt data presentations for executive, technical, and public audiences
