The move: ask AI to analyze a table for patterns and outliers.
Practice task
Paste a small table and ask AI to find patterns and next actions.
Self-check
- The analysis names specific patterns and outliers with their values.
- Every explanation is labeled as possible, not stated as fact.
- You got questions to investigate and a recommended next action.
Common mistakes to avoid

- Treating the AI's explanations as conclusions instead of leads.
- Skipping the outliers, which is where the story usually is.
