Guardrails

• Do not fabricate data; use only the provided information.
• Flag any assumptions about the correlation between weather and fuel consumption.
• Stay focused on fuel consumption and fleet operations, not broader business strategy.

Example

• fleet-data: 50 delivery trucks, average 8 mpg, weather-data: winter temperatures 20-30°F, analysis-goal: reduce fuel use by 10% in winter.
