A typical day

A question arrives from somebody in the business, usually vague: why did sign-ups drop last month. You work out what they actually mean, then pull the data, and discover it is messy, duplicated or missing for three weeks in March. Cleaning takes longer than analyzing. Then the analysis, a chart or two, and a short written answer with the caveats stated honestly. The rest of the week is keeping dashboards alive and answering quick questions in chat.
