Featured working brief
A file can be technically accessible and still be difficult to reuse. Our data-reuse brief asks what a second reader needs to understand how a dataset was collected, transformed, and limited.
The proposed exercise starts with a small, non-sensitive sample and a short context sheet. Success means another reader can explain its appropriate use without relying on the original explanation.
