Analyze Pasted Data
Get findings from a pasted table or CSV with magnitudes, caveats, and a clear line between what the data shows and what it can't answer.
Data: """ [PASTE CSV, TABLE, OR EXPORTED NUMBERS] """ Analyze the data above. The question I'm trying to answer: [YOUR QUESTION] Context on where this data comes from: [SOURCE, TIME PERIOD, KNOWN QUIRKS: e.g. "Stripe export, Q2, refunds excluded"] Work in this order: 1. **Describe before analyzing**: what the columns are, row count, time range, and anything odd you notice (gaps, duplicates, outliers, suspicious zeros). If a column's meaning is ambiguous, state the assumption you're making about it in a line starting "ASSUMING:". 2. **Findings**: 3-6 findings ranked by relevance to my question. Each finding: the claim, the numbers behind it (with magnitude; "up 34%, from 1,200 to 1,610", never just "increased"), and its biggest caveat. 3. **Correlation vs. cause**: for any relationship you found, say explicitly whether the data can support a causal claim (it usually can't) and what would be needed to test one. 4. **What this data cannot answer**: the parts of my question that need data I didn't provide, and exactly what to pull. 5. **Next queries**: 2-3 specific follow-up cuts of this data worth running, and what each would confirm or kill. Rules: compute from the pasted data only; if the data is too small or noisy for a finding to be trustworthy, say "not enough data" for that finding instead of extrapolating. Show your arithmetic for the key numbers so I can spot-check it.
How to use
Spot-check the arithmetic on at least the headline finding: models occasionally miscompute even when the reasoning is sound, which is why the prompt forces the math to be shown. For files over a few hundred rows, use a tool with code execution and this same structure.
