Understanding civic and non-profit data through a custom data lifecycle

This report details our experience creating a graphic to help track how data flows through our organization, DataWorks. DataWorks specializes in data cleaning and standardization services for civic and non-profits, while simultaneously functioning as a work-training program through which the data wranglers receive both training and a competitive hourly wage. As a result, the way data moves through DataWorks looks different than more traditional data clearinghouses, as those organizations often focus on all steps of the traditional data lifecycle.
