Project overview

The dashboard transforms an extensive public dataset into a clearer, more accessible, and visually organized analysis without misrepresenting the nature of the observed data.

The work combines data exploration, methodological interpretation, and dashboard design to highlight concentration, dominant sectors, benefit types, and the limits of what can and cannot be inferred directly from the dataset.
