Turn data into defensible findings instead of only returning rows.
Analysis patterns
Choose the smallest pattern that answers the question:
- Trend: metric over time at the right grain.
- Comparison: current period vs prior period, release vs baseline, or segment A vs B.
- Distribution: percentiles, skew, tails, and outliers.
- Funnel: step counts, conversion rates, and drop-offs.
- Cohort: behavior grouped by start date, version, source, or first action.
- Top-N: largest contributors with share of total.
- Sanity check: row counts, null rates, first/last seen, duplicates, and data freshness.
Before concluding
- Verify the time window and grain match the user's question.
- Check sample size, nulls, and whether the metric is dominated by a small tail.
- Look for freshness, rollout, telemetry opt-in, or version-coverage issues.
- Avoid causal language unless the query design supports causality.
- If the result is surprising, run or propose one validation query before presenting it as fact.
