What's one business question you analyze repeatedly?
Analytical workflows are step-by-step processes that ensure consistency across similar analyses. Instead of reinventing your approach each time, you follow a proven template.
This saves time, reduces errors, and maintains quality standards.

Roughly how many minutes do you spend deciding where to start each month?
Great workflows start with standardized questions: "What business metric are we tracking? What time period? What segments matter? What actions might we take?"
These questions become your analytical checklist, ensuring you never miss crucial considerations.

What questions do you ask yourself before starting analysis?
Template structure maintains consistency. "Executive Summary → Key Metrics → Trend Analysis → Segment Deep-Dive → Recommendations → Next Steps."
Having this skeleton means you focus on insights, not formatting decisions.

These prevent common analytical pitfalls.
