VTOD #13 – Avoid Overprecision: Round Your Numbers
VTOD #13 – Avoid Overprecision: Round Your Numbers
No one needs to see 13 decimal places to understand your data.
If your chart says “Conversion rate: 12.738492%”, you're overwhelming rather than informing.
Round to meaningful digits: “12.7%” does the job and keeps the chart clean. Precision should serve clarity, not clutter.
Clean numbers = clear stories.
