Analyst playbook
From a question to a useful recommendation.
Use this short workflow whenever you need to answer a business question with data.
Define the decision
Who needs an answer? What will they decide? Write one question and define what success means.
Check the evidence
Identify the source, time period, missing values, and limits. Confirm what each row represents.
Analyze and verify
Start with a simple comparison. Recalculate a sample and check whether another explanation fits.
Explain the action
State the finding, recommendation, uncertainty, and next check in plain language.
