output — ChatGPT (Advanced Data Analysis) / Claude
I have a dataset about {{dataset_description}} with columns: {{columns}}. The business question is: {{business_question}}.

Plan the analysis: data-quality checks (missing values, duplicates, outliers, units, date ranges) with the exact code or steps; 5 hypotheses ranked by how much they would change a decision; for each, the analysis, the best chart type and what result would confirm or refute it; confounders to watch for; a note on sample size and what conclusions are not supportable; and a findings template (headline, evidence, caveats, recommended action). Then write the {{language}} code for the first three steps. Never state a conclusion before showing the evidence behind it.
