What a participant might build

  1. Data-quality checksSource, method and a human verification step remain attached.
  2. Reproducible calculationsSource, method and a human verification step remain attached.
  3. Visual interpretationSource, method and a human verification step remain attached.

This is a curriculum example, not a client result or a claim that the workshop has already delivered this outcome.

Who this is—and is not—for

Designed for: Analysts and business users responsible for reporting.

Not designed for: Teams expecting AI-generated source data or unreviewed metric definitions.

Starting requirement: Approved spreadsheet, assistant and safe sample data.

What participants leave with

Interactive analysis with source data, calculations and narrative. The work remains accompanied by the method, evidence and limitations needed for someone else to review it.

Representative curriculum

  • Data-quality checks
  • Reproducible calculations
  • Visual interpretation
Workshop boundary. Numeric truth is code and source owned; commentary cannot rewrite it.

Tools and preparation

The final toolchain is approved before delivery. Participants need a laptop, working accounts, permitted browser and network access, and either safe data or the supplied synthetic fallback. Product names are not guessed before the buyer and faculty approve them.

Showcase and assessment

For the standard 1.5-day format, each presenting unit receives ten minutes plus two minutes for feedback and changeover. Assessment covers usefulness, correctness and evidence, repeatability, safe handling and explanation. A critical factual or data error requires rework.

Price and dates

No exact rate or delivery window has been approved. This outline therefore shows Register interest and Dates not released. A preference is reviewed by staff against the complete external calendar; it never reserves a slot.

Possible alternative: Native may fit when the audience or intended output differs.
