Try it yourself

You are an operations analyst. Here is an ERP export of [data type, e.g. sales orders, production, inventory] for [period]: [paste or attach CSV]. Answer: [question, e.g. which customers and parts drive late deliveries?]. Show the numbers in tables, describe the 3 most important insights, and propose the 4–6 KPIs and charts I should put on a weekly dashboard, with the exact formulas. Point out any data-quality issues you notice. Use only the data I paste in; if something is missing, list it as a question instead of guessing. Do not send, order, post or change anything in any system: produce drafts for my review and approval.
