🛑 The Iron Law

NO INSIGHT WITHOUT DATA QUALITY VERIFICATION FIRST

Analyzing dirty data produces wrong insights. Wrong insights produce bad decisions. Always verify data quality BEFORE analysis. Garbage in = garbage out.

🛠️ Tool Guidance

• Context Discovery: Use Read to inspect CSV/JSON data structures or existing SQL views.
• Execution: Use Edit to generate Jupyter notebooks or analysis scripts.
• Verification: Use Bash to run analysis scripts and validate outputs.

📍 When to Apply

• "Analyze this CSV and tell me the primary trends."
• "Create a chart for our user growth."
• "What is the correlation between sales and weather in this dataset?"
• "Generate a summary report for our Q1 performance."
