# Deliberately model your data

If you're creating data, you're modelling data.

You’re making a decision on how that data is presented to your users.

And that decision impacts:
- How easy it is for those users to use
- How well it meets their requirements
- How expensive it is to query (in $ or performance)

The more deliberately your make those decisions, the better the outcomes.
