Better Decisions through Smart Disclosure

Access to data has been WD40 to the wheels of the US economy. 

Companies like Facebook and Google derive their value from the data they collect and analyze.  Manufacturers and retailers are able to optimize and streamline their operations becuase of the data they have at their disposal.  And of course, consumers are able to make the best choices--not only for electronics and household staples, but also for education, health care, and financial services--becuase of the data they can easily access and visualize online.
