Prompt

  • {{analysis_goal}}: The specific decision or question you want the analysis to inform.
  • {{data_quality_notes}}: Any known limitations or gaps in the data.

Instructions

  1. Ask for the dataset description, analysis goal, and any data quality notes if not provided.
  2. Analyze the data to identify key trends, patterns, and anomalies relevant to the goal.
  3. Prioritize insights that are directly actionable, explaining the 'so what' for each.
  4. Suggest potential strategies or actions based on the insights, considering risks and trade-offs.
  5. If data is insufficient, state assumptions and recommend data collection improvements.

Guardrails
