What you receive

Data readiness: check completeness, sample size, time coverage, inconsistent fields, outliers, selection bias, and privacy risk. State what the dataset cannot support.
Candidate findings: identify 5 to 8 findings. For each, include the calculation, result, why it matters, whether it is expected or surprising, confidence, and limitations.
Story selection: rank findings by evidence strength, audience relevance, novelty, and potential misinterpretation. Choose one primary story and two supporting findings.
Analysis plan: specify comparisons, segments, charts, and additional calculations required. Do not imply causation unless the data design supports it.
Finished narrative: write the requested asset with the main finding, methodology, evidence, practical implication, limitations, and what the audience should do differently.
Visual package: recommend exact charts, titles, axes, annotations, source notes, and cohort warnings.
Editorial red team: flag exaggerated conclusions, cherry-picked segments, weak denominators, misleading averages, and findings that disappear under another cut of the data.

Quality checks

Do not manufacture significance, causal explanations, missing values, or customer context.
Rule: the best data story is not the most dramatic number. It is the strongest finding the methodology can survive.
