The Decoding Strategy Canvas

You ever have the feeling that you don't really understand the message of a chart, but you can't quite say why?

This canvas makes it super easy to decode any data visualization. Follow the 6 steps and you can

1. Unlock the message of a chart.
2. Pinpoint problems that make a chart unreadable.
3. Quickly check if your own chart is decodable.
4. Verify that your chart conveys the intended message.

How to use the canvas:

1. Print the canvas and fill in the fields yourself.
2. Print it out in a larger format and use it with Post-its for a team workshop.
3. Use it for a user feedback interview.
