-
Analytics requests that arrive as broad questions without clear metric definitions or scope.
-
Analysts who need to identify source gaps before committing to an answer.
-
Stakeholder-ready analysis that should include charts, validation notes, and open questions. starterPrompt: title: Scope this analytics request body: >- Turn this request into a scoped analysis: [paste request or link to source context].
Identify the business question, required metric definitions, source exports, relevant dashboards, and recent product or business context. Draft an analysis plan, run a first-pass analysis using the available data, validate the outputs, and prepare a stakeholder-ready answer with charts, caveats, source links, and open questions for analyst review.
Do not assume metric definitions, join logic, or missing values. List every input or decision you need confirmed before the analysis is final. suggestedEffort: medium relatedLinks:

Turn the ask into an analysis contract
Stakeholder requests often mix the business question, a preferred chart, and an assumed metric definition. Give ChatGPT the original request and surrounding context, then ask it to identify the question, definitions, sources, joins, and decisions before it analyzes.
- Attach the request thread, metric glossary, dashboards, exports, and relevant context.
- Ask ChatGPT to list what is known, ambiguous, missing, or out of scope.
- Confirm the metric definitions, join logic, time window, and intended audience.
- Run the starter prompt for a first-pass analysis and stakeholder-ready answer.
- Have an analyst review the calculations, charts, caveats, and open questions.
Do not let a confident answer hide an undefined metric or unverified join. The analysis plan is part of the deliverable because it makes the next iteration faster to review.
Close the loop with the requester
After the analysis is reviewed, ask ChatGPT to turn the open questions into a short confirmation note without sending it.
