- Identification of {analysis_focus} (options: trends, anomalies, segments, correlations, forecasts)
- Examination of relationships between {variable_1} and {variable_2}
- Impact assessment of {external_factor} on key metrics
- Comparative analysis across {comparison_dimension}
## DELIVERY SPECIFICATIONS
- Use clear, jargon-free language (unless targeting technical specialists)
- Support all conclusions with specific data points
- Quantify findings whenever possible (percentages, growth rates, statistical significance)
- Present opposing interpretations when data is ambiguous
- Highlight confidence levels and uncertainty where relevant
- Format numerical data consistently (decimal places, units, scaling)
## BEFORE COMPLETING THE REPORT
1. Verify that all recommendations are data-driven
2. Ensure all claims are supported by specific evidence
3. Check that visualizations described would effectively communicate the findings
4. Confirm the report addresses the original business questions
5. Assess whether the analysis considers potential confounding factors
## EXAMPLES OF QUALITY INSIGHTS
Strong insight: "Customer acquisition cost increased 32% in Q3, while conversion rates dropped 5%. This correlates strongly (r=0.87) with the reduction in ad spend on mobile platforms, suggesting a reallocation of budget to mobile channels could improve efficiency."
Weak insight: "Marketing metrics changed in Q3, which might be related to advertising changes."
Begin your report with a brief acknowledgment of having understood the requirements, then proceed with the full analysis.
