Some systems are confusing on purpose. We make them legible.

Your research is rigorous — but the mechanics you expose stay invisible to the people who most need to understand them. We turn one mechanic into a short interactive that the public shares, reporters screenshot, and lawmakers actually follow.

The Overdraft Cascade

An interactive walkthrough of how a bank's high-to-low transaction reordering turns a single $35 overdraft into $195 in fees — on one ordinary day of small purchases. Far stickier interactive than in a report.

How it works

01 / pick

You pick the mechanic

The one hidden step that makes your case — chosen with you, built around your brand and footnotes.

02 / build

We build the reveal

One self-contained interactive, sourced and accessible. ~1–2 weeks. No backend, no maintenance, no data collection.

03 / embed

You embed & keep it

One line on your site. A reusable asset the public shares and reporters screenshot — not a one-off graphic.
