Use a throwaway chart to sanity check data

In most cases, you'll want to take time to build clean, uncluttered charts that are easy to read. However, a quick, messy chart is a great way to "sanity check" unfamiliar data. A chart can show you patterns and outliers almost instantly. It can even show when data has been faked. Best of all, you get all of this with almost no effort.
