Data 911: how Posit can support decision-makers in times of environmental crisis
summary
Posit products and a Shiny dashboard synthesize thousands of sample points from dozens of agencies and hundreds of sites into actionable outputs within a six month response window; the pipeline runs from Google Drive ingestion to GitHub with 641 commits and about 8,500 tests (TestThat) guarding unit mismatches and range errors, catches issues that would mislead decisions, and produces infographics and a public dashboard pushed live within days that media and managers use to triage cleanup.
