Data Visualization & Storytelling (Healy + AntV)

"The tools you use can help you live up to the right standards. But they cannot make you do the right thing." — Kieran Healy, Data Visualization, Ch. 1

When to Use This Skill

• Deciding which chart type fits the analytical question
• Writing a report or slide deck where numbers need a narrative
• Reviewing a figure for honesty / misleading patterns
• Drafting an insight summary with claim → evidence → caveat structure
• Choosing between infographic (visual design) and statistical figure (accuracy)

For actual plotting code → use matplotlib, seaborn, or scientific-visualization.
