" summary

Claims a search engine for numbers that returns charts and normalized data ready to download in multiple formats, cutting the hours spent hunting PDFs, Excel sheets and proprietary APIs. Uses cleaning, schema alignment, user tagging and comment layers plus visualization tools so nonprogrammers can "tell stories" with datasets like schools, crime, housing and car prices. Argues open data contains hundreds of thousands of man-years and that the big opportunity is large-scale discovery and integration, not one-off apps.
