Unit 2 · Professional Deliverables
After an analysis is complete, its users still need to find answers, understand limitations, and apply results to their own tasks. A static plot can communicate a conclusion; an interactive plot can support exploration; a dashboard needs a clear information hierarchy. This unit builds on Unit 1’s functions, tables, and graphics to choose a delivery format for a particular audience and setting.
Move from interactive graphics to static dashboards, then examine the different requirements of reactive applications and publication-ready reports. Whether the audience is a business colleague, research team, or pharmaceutical project reviewer, make the data scope, filters, and interpretation visible. Deliver a report, dashboard, or application organized around a specific question.
Ask yourself: What should readers see first? Which results change when a filter changes? Does added interactivity help them judge the evidence? You can use the companion lab’s simulated site quality scores to build a delivery page; it is an analysis exercise, not a clinical evaluation tool. The next unit addresses maintenance and verification of the code behind these deliverables.
