What we test

If you already produce a pack for someone else to sign, or you are moving into analyst work.

Syllabus

  • A question stated before the spreadsheet is opened
  • Cleaning that is documented, not just done
  • A comparison that respects how each period was collected
  • The sentence the figures do not allow you to write
  • A recommendation with the caveat attached, not parked in an appendix
  • Handing the work to someone who was not in the room when you built it
