- 21. 21 This is a dataset (1975 – 1990) that has been around for several years, and has been studied extensively. Yet, a visualization can reveal patterns that are neither obvious nor well known. For example, • Are birthdays uniformly distributed? • Do doctors or parents exercise the C-section option to move dates? • Is there any day of the month that has unusually high or low births? • Are there any months with relatively high or low births? Very high births in September. But this is fairly well known. Most conceptions happen during the winter holiday season. Relatively few births during the Christmas & Thanksgiving holidays, as well as New Year and Independence Day. Most people prefer not to have children on the 13th of any month, given that it’s an unlucky day. Some special days like April Fool’s day are avoided, but Valentine’s Day is quite popular. More births Fewer births … on average, for each day of the year (from 1975 to 1990) Let’s Look at 15 Years of US Birth Data Education LINK Fraud
- 22. 22 The Pattern in India is Quite Different This is a birth date dataset that’s obtained from school admission data for over 10 million children. When we compare this with births in the US, we see none of the same patterns. For example, • Is there an aversion to the 13th or is there a local cultural nuance? • Are holidays avoided for births? • Which months have a higher propensity for births, and why? • Are there any patterns not found in the US data? Very few children are born in the month of August, and thereafter. Most births are concentrated in the first half of the year. We see a large number of children born on the 5th , 10th , 15th , 20th and 25th of each month – that is, round numbered dates. Such round numbered patterns a typical indication of fraud. Here, birthdates are brought forward to aid early school admission. More births Fewer births … on average, for each day of the year (from 2007 to 2013) Education LINK Fraud

- 25. 25 Financial Reporting Narratives LINK Financial ServicesNarrativesFinancePlatform A key problem in financial reporting is annotating drivers of variance. For e.g.: • Which account caused the largest increase in assets? • Was this the primary cause, or one among many? • Were there other accounts that mitigated its effect? These are what a financial analyst manually analyzes, adding annotations to the report. But this is automatable. This natural language generator by Gramener applies these simple rules: • If there's more than one driver, mention the top driver. • If the second driver counteracts the first driver's effect, mention it. • Or, if the second driver has 78% of the influence on the first, mention it The annotations are similar to a human’s, but without human error. It sets a starting point for exploration, letting people focus on review rather than execution.
- 26. 26 EUROPEAN BREWERY IDENTIFIED €15 M COST SAVINGS AFTER CONSOLIDATING VENDORS WATCH A 4-MINUTE VIDEOSEE LIVE DEMO A leading European brewery’s plants purchased commodity raw materials from several vendors each – and had low volume discounts. Plants also placed multiple orders placed every week, leading to higher logistics cost. When plant managers were shown the data, they objected, saying “That’s not always the case.” Or, “That’s the only way– no one else does better.” Gramener built a custom analytics solution that sourced their SAP order data, automatically identified which plants ordered which commodities the most from multiple vendors – and when. It showed how each plant performed compared to peers – shaming those with poor performance. With this, they identified savings of €15 m — which the plant managers couldn’t refute. €15 m 40% savings potential identified annually vendor based reduction identified

Trained staff and forklifts reduce risk of breakage, and hence reduce delay. Insights are useful, non- obvious, Big FACTS ARE NOT USEFUL E.g. Delay in cargo delivery grew 8% last quarter. INSIGHTS ENABLE ACTION Lack of forklifts and fewer trained staff led to the delay. Improving these can reduce cargo delay by 15%. 40 INSIGHT STORY DATA GRAMENER COMBINES These are memorable.
