The Traumagraph™

The Traumagraph™ is a one-of-a-kind interactive digital experience that examines incidences of financial trauma in the US. It uses qualitative data to accurately reflect the experiences of respondents. Today, we've mapped financial trauma in cities such as Philadelphia and St. Paul with the goal of mapping every city in the nation.

WHY WE ARE BUILDING IT

There is no tool in existence that maps financial or economic trauma in the US. We designed the Traumagraph™ to capture the financial and economic experiences of people across identities and situations, with a particular focus on marginalized populations.

Many clients choose to fund or partner with us to expand the Traumagraph™. Across to this research is contingent on a working relationship with 10Seven, however, in the future we plan to make the research available for public consumption. Our non-profit organizations, BlackFem and the 10Seven Project, also leverage and contribute to the expansion of the Traumagraph™ through the programming we develop.
