Methodology
At Chartistic.info, we are committed to delivering clear, accurate, and insightful financial charts based on a robust methodology. Here’s a breakdown of how we approach the creation of our charts to ensure they provide reliable insights into a company’s financial health.
1. Data Collection
- Our financial chart methodology starts with meticulous data collection. We gather financial data from publicly available and trusted sources. These primary sources include company financial statements: balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. Using verified, audited data directly from companies ensures the reliability of our financial visualizations and analysis.
2. Data Standardisation
- Data standardization is crucial for comparative financial analysis. Financial information is often presented in varying formats across companies. We standardize the data to ensure consistency, converting values into uniform metrics. This ensures that comparisons and analyses remain accurate and relevant across different companies and industries in our financial charts.
3. Core Financial Metric Selection
- In creating our financial visualizations, we focus on core financial metrics that are most indicative of a company’s financial stability and growth potential. Key indicators like revenue, net income**, profit margins, assets, liabilities, and cash flow are carefully selected for our analysis in each Sankey chart. Each metric is carefully chosen to reflect important aspects of the company’s financial performance and financial health.
4. Chart Design and Visualisation
- Once the data is compiled and standardized, we transform it into clear, user-friendly Sankey charts and other financial visualizations that highlight key trends and insights. Each chart is designed to minimize text and focus on visual representation, making it easier for users to interpret the financial data at a glance. The result of this process is the clear, user-friendly financial charts you see on Chartistic.info.
5. Comparative Analysis (ad-hoc)
- For companies in the same industry, we provide comparative financial charts (ad-hoc) that allow users to see how a company performs against its peers. We normalize the data and highlight differences in key financial metrics, which helps users make informed industry comparisons.
6. Regular Updates
- To ensure our financial charts remain relevant, we perform regular updates, typically on a quarterly basis in alignment with new financial disclosures. This quarterly update schedule ensures that users always have access to the latest financial information, reflecting the most recent financial performance of the companies we cover.
7. Quality Assurance
- Quality assurance is paramount in our methodology. Every financial chart and calculation undergoes a rigorous quality check to ensure data accuracy and consistency. Our team reviews each dataset for any anomalies and confirms that the final financial visualizations meet our standards for clarity and reliability, providing reliable financial insights.
Through this structured methodology, Chartistic.info ensures that each chart represents an accurate, clear, and unbiased view of a company’s financial fundamentals. This approach allows us to present reliable financial insights that empower users to understand company financial performance without needing extensive financial expertise.
