Thrilled to see this partnership come to life. The early ideas and prototypes started in Tableau Research, and it’s amazing to watch research concepts evolve into something that will shape how people experience analytics. #tableauresearch

We’re validating a short inventory for assessing exploration support in data exploration tools, and we’d love your expert input. The survey has 10 domains (two items each) with definitions. We’re simply asking you to rate how relevant each item is to its domain.
