Data Analysis Standard

Q: How do I know the Data Analysis Standard output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Analysis answers all 4 questions: what changed, why, so what, now what; Root cause has evidence (not just hypothesis); Confidence level is stated and justified; What the data cannot tell us is explicitly named.

What to give it

▸Metric or question — being investigated

▸Time period — what changed, from when to when

▸Data available — which segments, sources, or queries you have access to

▸Business context — what decision this analysis informs

▸Audience — who will read this — exec / team / data team

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Analysis answers all 4 questions: what changed, why, so what, now what

✓Root cause has evidence (not just hypothesis)

✓Confidence level is stated and justified

✓What the data cannot tell us is explicitly named

✓Recommended action includes an owner and timeline

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not present correlations as causation — always state the distinction explicitly

Do not report a metric movement without stating the time window and comparison baseline

Do not skip the "so what" — raw observations without recommended actions are incomplete analysis

Do not overstate confidence — label hypotheses clearly and note what data would be needed to confirm them

Do not ignore segment breakdowns — aggregate metrics can mask opposing trends in sub-segments
