Example Output: Data Analytics Data Product Brief
Inputs used
- Project context: a retention dashboard for a usage-based SaaS product
- Target audience: data analysts, BI teams, PMs, operations leaders
- Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
- Available tools and data: SQL warehouse, BI dashboard, notebook, semantic layer
- Desired depth: Production-ready
- Output tone: Clear operator memo
Generated Result
metric contract, analysis plan, dashboard outline, and decision narrative
Decision to support
Use event taxonomy as evidence, apply the constraint "define metric grain", and explicitly note how the plan reduces metric leakage. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Metric contract
Define the metric grain before analysis. For a retention dashboard for a usage-based SaaS product, the first dashboard view should show cohort, denominator, time window, and confidence note, not just top-line movement.
Data sources
Rank sources by authority before retrieval. Chunk around task intent rather than page boundaries, and require every answer to cite the exact source segment used for dashboard screenshots.
Analysis method
Define the metric grain before analysis. For a retention dashboard for a usage-based SaaS product, the first dashboard view should show cohort, denominator, time window, and confidence note, not just top-line movement.
Dashboard layout
Define the metric grain before analysis. For a retention dashboard for a usage-based SaaS product, the first dashboard view should show cohort, denominator, time window, and confidence note, not just top-line movement.
Decision memo
Use warehouse schema as evidence, apply the constraint "avoid causal claims without design", and explicitly note how the plan reduces aggregation traps. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Recommended Decision
Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on event taxonomy and warehouse schema. Treat metric leakage as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable analysis plan, metric contract, and executive insight brief with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.
Expected quality checks
- The result is specific to AI-assisted metric design, SQL planning, dashboard critique, and insight storytelling.
- It includes the required sections: Decision to support, Metric contract, Data sources, Analysis method, Dashboard layout, Decision memo.
- It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
- It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
- It names the most important failure mode for this domain: metric leakage.
Reuse note
Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.
