Check a chart for misleading design
Checks whether axes, cropping, colours or comparisons in a chart create a false impression, and suggests a more honest version.
Turn a recurring document into a template
Turns a few examples of a document you write again and again into a clear template with fixed parts, gaps to fill in and short notes.
Check numeric claims in a text
Checks reports, slides and articles for skewed numeric claims.
Sort tasks by impact and effort
Sorts a long task list by impact, effort and deadline and turns it into a workable plan, including what can wait.
Check how fresh your data sources are
Checks for every source in a report when it was last updated, whether the update ran fully and whether the report shows the data date.
Align units and formats in tables
Finds mixed units, currencies, date formats and decimal separators in tables and proposes one consistent format with conversion.
Find gaps and missing values in tables
Finds empty cells, placeholders like 0 or "n/a" and missing rows in a table and proposes how to handle each gap before the analysis.
Check percent and percentage points in reports
Checks whether a report mixes up percent and percentage points, compares rates on different bases or shows percentages for very small groups.
Find mixed currencies in tables
Finds tables where amounts in different currencies or with and without tax are added up and proposes a clean conversion with a stated rate and date.
Check mean or median
Checks whether a report uses the right kind of average and shows when a few large values make the mean misleading.
Find lost leading zeros
Finds postcodes, article numbers, phone numbers and long IDs that lost leading zeros or turned into rounded numbers after opening a file in a spreadsheet.
Find total rows counted twice
Finds subtotal and total rows inside tables that are added up again in sums, pivots or charts and proposes a clean structure.
Find mixed date formats
Finds date columns where day and month are swapped, text and real dates are mixed or years have two digits, and proposes one consistent format.
Check analyses for missing dropouts
Checks whether an analysis only contains the cases that remained, such as active customers, running projects or successful campaigns.
Check rates for shifting denominators
Checks whether rates in a report are calculated on the same base over time and across teams, and finds places where a changed denominator only fakes an improvement or a decline.
Check spreadsheet exports for formula injection
Checks whether CSV and spreadsheet exports take values from forms or user input unprotected, so cells starting with = + - @ could run as a formula when the file is opened.
Check A/B tests for peeking
Checks analyses of running or early-stopped A/B tests for whether results were viewed mid-way without a plan and the stop was chosen after a significant interim look.
Check claims against sample size
Checks number claims in reports for whether the sample is large and stable enough and whether relative jumps on tiny bases look exaggerated.
Check timestamps for timezone
Checks report columns and exports for naive timestamps and silent local times that shift day boundaries.
Check cohorts for survivorship bias
Checks cohort comparisons for whether dropouts leave the base and success numbers look too high.
Check metrics for cardinality
Checks metric labels for too many unique combinations and proposes cutting or bucketing.
Check pipelines for watermarks
Checks event pipelines for whether windows close with watermarks and stragglers have a clear policy.
Check for lookahead bias
Checks analyses and backtests for features or labels that were not available at the decision time.
Check for selection bias
Checks whether inclusion rules systematically drop groups and whether claims are narrowed accordingly.
