FREE PRACTICAL WORKFLOW / FICTIONAL CASE
A good-looking answer can still be wrong.
Before you rely on AI-assisted analysis, make the assumptions, calculations and evidence traceable. Try the example below.
THE FIRST DRAFT
Would you trust this market estimate?
£132m
Management market estimate. No complete audit trail has been supplied.
What would you check before using it?
- Are the population and serviceable market definitions correct?
- Are the spend assumptions annual, evidenced and like-for-like?
- Which important adjustments or exclusions have been omitted?
01 / DEFINE THE QUESTION
Start with the decision.
State the audience, the deliverable and what the analysis must prove.
02 / BOUND THE INPUTS
Use authorised evidence.
Collect source documents and record definitions, dates, units and exclusions.
03 / CHECK THE RESULT
Recalculate independently.
Trace each material assertion to a source and document unresolved issues.
