How Alex turned the data into the report

Shape the report

Write the report, decide its sections, and add the content.

02

Build it in Ploy

Create the page skeleton, charts, animation, and interactions.

03

Connect the data

Upload the benchmark CSV to PloyDB and map the report fields.

04

Generate the right experience

Use the submitted email domain to show the matching company report.

Give the visitor a useful, product-relevant experience.

3

Design the data capture and sales conversation together.

4

Build reusable scaffolding so one project becomes a program.
