At Curbcut, data is at the core of everything we do–but we also recognize its limitations. We acknowledge that data can be incomplete, fragmented, or shaped by the way it is collected. For example, data sources like the Canadian census provide snapshots rather than continuous information, which can lead to the over- or underrepresentation of certain groups.
That’s why we take a critical approach to data - questioning methodologies, identifying gaps, and ensuring that our analyses don’t reinforce inequalities or omissions. Our goal is to provide transparent, context-aware information that empowers decision-making.
