The Story
The full narrative of the workshop — meta-prompting, getting AI to write programs instead of doing arithmetic, downloading and cleaning messy air-quality data, "blow my mind" insights, source verification, comics, an unlivability calendar, and stories from satellites. Woven with quotes and the room's own crowdsourced data.

The Playbook
Technique Atlas
A catalogue of data-storytelling techniques Anand prepared to drive the talk with — mapped by impact and effort, from finding data to analysing, verifying, and visualising it with AI. He didn't end up using it, but it's a useful interactive field guide for anyone telling stories from data.
