Why Storycards
A reporting workflow built around the question
Storycards lets journalists begin with a question, document or dataset. Research results stay attached to publisher evidence, the resulting table remains inspectable, and the visual can combine charts, maps, annotations and explanatory text before it reaches the article page.
What it helps you do
From source to published story.
Keep the receipts
Review citations at row and value level instead of treating search metadata as proof.
Edit the whole story
Refine data, headline, annotations, hierarchy, interaction and motion on one canvas.
Publish for the article
Ship a responsive Smart Embed, preserve versions and update without replacing the embed.
What you can create
Built around the story, not the chart type.
Questions
What teams need to know.
Can I start with a question instead of a dataset?
Yes. Storycards can begin with sourced research or accept data you already have.
Does the published viewer receive source credentials?
No. Connected sources are handled server-side and public delivery receives a sanitized package.
Can the visual still be edited after the first draft?
Yes. Data, copy, layout, chart styling, interaction and motion remain structured and editable.
