Who this is for
Owner or manager with a monthly export and a stream of "can you tell me" questions that wait for a busy analyst, or for nobody.
The same kinds of question come up every month, you have used chat tools and been burned by a plausible wrong number, and you want a person-sized limit on the work.
The result
Each month you send up to ten questions about the export you supply, and every answer comes with its query, row counts, the file checksum, a separately written second method and caveats. If the methods disagree or the data cannot answer, the answer is withheld with the reason. Questions are about what the data shows, never advice or forecasts; supplied reasons are quoted as your statements, not verified causes.
What is included
- Up to ten questions a month about one dataset you export (up to 1 million rows, personal data removed by you)
- For each answer: the query or pivot, the row counts, the file checksum and a second result by a separately written method
- "Cannot be answered from this data" with the reason, where that is the case
- Two control questions a month with answers you already know, which you add and which are not counted in the ten
- A monthly summary of answers, disagreements and open questions
You receive
- Responses to up to ten questions a month: checked answers or an explicit cannot-answer reason
- The second-method results
- The summary of disagreements and unanswerable questions
- The control question result
What is not included
- More than ten questions a month: extra questions wait for next month
- Forecasts, advice, recommendations or verified causes; supplied reasons are only quoted as your statements
- Live access to your systems or dashboards
- Personal data, user-level logs or special-category data
- Building dashboards, models or pipelines
- Round-the-clock cover or a response-time guarantee
What we need from you first
- What the dataset holds and roughly how big it is
- Examples of the questions you ask
- Who would send them
- No logins, keys, customer data or payment details in the first enquiry
Never send passwords, keys, customer records or confidential code in the first enquiry. Secure handover is agreed after scoping.
How we check it is done
- After our answers are frozen, you choose up to 3 to re-run, all if fewer, from the query and matching input checksum; all give the same numbers within the agreed rounding. With no numeric answer, every question has an explicit cannot-answer reason; one wrong checksum or unreproducible number fails the whole test.
- Both control questions match the answers you withheld until our results were frozen. One wrong control answer fails the month's checks, is reported first and stops further answers on the dataset until its cause is fixed; this two-case smoke test makes no general accuracy claim.
- Every answer given has a second method that agrees, and every answer where the methods disagreed is withheld with both results shown.
- Your named reviewer reads every answer and confirms that no forecast or recommendation is given and any reason from your reasons file is quoted as your stated reason, not a verified cause. One unsupported causal statement, forecast or recommendation fails the whole test.
You read each report and re-run the acceptance checks with the files and steps supplied. A month counts as delivered only when those checks pass.
When we would stop or decline
- The export shape changes and no sample is sent
- A control question is answered wrongly: further answers on that dataset stop until the cause is fixed
- Most questions are about causes or forecasts
Questions
Is an AI answering my questions?
Automated systems do the work, a separately written check confirms each answer, and a separate automated reviewer reads the result. No human analyst from us is included unless your agreement names one.
What if I have eleven questions?
The eleventh waits for next month. Ten is the limit.
Can you tell me why sales fell?
We can quote a reason you supply, marked as your statement rather than a verified cause. The one-off cause job proposes possible causes with supporting data.
How is this different from the ten-questions job?
That job builds saved queries once. This is a monthly service for new questions on fresh exports.
