CONVERSATIONAL DATA REVIEW · Workflow idea

Get a clear answer from the business data your team trusts.

Ask a question about approved business records and receive a plain-language summary of the relevant information. Keep the answer tied to the tables and fields consulted, explain when information is missing, and restrict access so teammates only see data they are authorized to use.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An authorized teammate asks a question about information in an approved business data set

“Find and summarize the records relevant to the question, identify the source information, and make uncertainty or missing data clear.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people explore and summarize approved business records conversationally when they do not have a report ready.

  1. Ask a focused question

    Describe the information needed and the period, team, or other limits that apply.

  2. Check access to relevant records

    Use only approved records and fields the requester is authorized to view.

  3. Find the information needed to answer

    Review relevant tables and relationships while keeping the search limited to the stated question.

  4. Summarize findings in plain language

    Explain the result and include enough source detail for the teammate to understand where it came from.

  5. Flag missing or uncertain information

    Make gaps and assumptions clear and direct the teammate to a data owner when the source does not support a reliable answer.

  6. Verify consequential findings

    Have a data owner confirm important results before they are used for financial, employment, customer, or operational decisions.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A concise answer with its relevant source details and limitations, available only to an authorized teammate.

The handoff

A concise answer with its relevant source details and limitations, available only to an authorized teammate.

Keep in mind

A summary can omit context or include information the requester should not see. Restrict access by role, keep queries limited to approved read-only information, verify important results against source records, and do not let a conversational answer change records or make high-impact decisions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved data sources

Select the business records and fields that are appropriate for conversational questions.

Set read-only access boundaries

Limit requesters to the records they are authorized to see and prevent the assistant from changing source data.

Document table meanings and relationships

Provide current definitions so a teammate can interpret fields and understand how records connect.

Assign data owners for review

Identify who can resolve ambiguous results and verify findings before high-impact decisions.

Test access and uncertain answers

Try valid questions, restricted fields, missing values, and ambiguous requests; confirm the answer stays within the requester’s permissions.
