Data Assistant
Ask questions of your own data
data-assistant.txtas is → to be
Today a question about the figures means an export, a spreadsheet, a pivot table and a slide, redone every month. Afterwards the question is asked in plain words and the answer arrives with its source attached.Illustrative hours, not a measurement.
The figures somebody assembles every month already exist in your systems — the work is getting them out. Data Assistant answers a question asked in ordinary words, from your own data, and shows where every number came from. It can read your records and cannot change them.
Recurring figures come from one path instead of being reassembled by hand, and an answer arrives with its source attached.
How it runs
- it can read your data and cannot change it
- questions asked in ordinary words, answers that show where the number came from
- the figures you put together every month come from the same place
- nothing it does can alter a record
Where it does not fit
- figures with regulatory reporting requirements
- data not yet in a queryable system, where a system of record comes first
Size: a medium piece of work — an estimate from the pattern, not from your business.
What we would want to know before committing
- which reports are produced, how often, by whom
- where the underlying data already lives
- who needs to ask, and what they ask for
- which figures are decision-relevant
- confirm the data is actually queryable today
- agree which figures are authoritative
- check who may see which rows
