BUSINESS DATA REVIEW · Workflow idea
For an analyst authorized to use a selected spreadsheet, retrieve current rows and prepare an answer to a natural-language question, including follow-up context where useful. A sheet may contain personal or commercially sensitive records, and an answer can use the wrong date range, formula, or denominator. Restrict access by role, define which tabs and fields are in scope, show calculations and missing-data caveats, verify results against the sheet, and keep business decisions and live edits with an accountable analyst.
01 / The starting point
A permissioned workbook, a defined question, and an approved audience
“Prepare a reproducible answer from live rows without guessing missing values or changing the workbook.”
02 / The work
Reads selected spreadsheet data and prepares conversational answers to questions about the current records.
Use only the data and fields the requester is authorized to access.
Resolve ambiguous measures, date ranges, units, and exclusions before calculating.
Reproduce totals and comparisons in the original sheet and flag missing values.
Minimize returned rows and restrict conversational histories and results.
Require the data owner to verify results before external reporting or workbook changes.
03 / The result
A dated answer with filters, calculation notes, source rows, and analyst review status.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A dated answer with filters, calculation notes, source rows, and analyst review status.
A plausible answer may use an incomplete range, wrong formula, or misread column. Show filters and calculations, check source rows, and do not change records or make consequential decisions from an unchecked result.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Connect only approved sheets and use least-privilege read permissions.
Define columns, formulas, units, date handling, and missing-data behavior.
Show source rows or calculation logic sufficient for an analyst to validate.
Require explicit approval for any change to live spreadsheet data.
