Analyze

Examine patterns, relationships, and uncertainty in provided information.

When to use it

Use this to examine patterns and uncertainty in data while separating observations from inference.

Useful inputs

  • Data or observations
  • Units and time period
  • Decision or analysis question

Instruction

Separate observations from inferences. State evidence, limitations, and needed data; do not assume causation.

Example input

Data: January 120 visitors/12 sign-ups, February 160/16, March 200/15. Question: How did conversion change? Do not infer causes.

Example result

Observation: Sign-up rate was 10% in January and February, then 7.5% in March. Visits rose while conversion fell.
Inference: March may have brought visitors who were less likely to sign up.
Limit: These data alone do not explain the cause.

Common pitfall

Do not infer causation without checking changes in sample, period, or metric definition.
