1. Convert a stakeholder question into scope The baseline is 21 completed orders and EUR 1190. Region subtotals should reconcile to the grand measures; they do not identify a causal regional effect or an operational target. 2. Integrate SQL/Python analysis with reporting Completed line value is 119000 cents. Joined row count 42 is not order count 21. An absent month is unavailable; a changed source requires recalculated outputs and updated prose. 3. Write a decision note and defend the limits The note reports the observed measures, source limits and a specific next evidence request. A suggested eight-point self-review is a learning rubric, not a graded credential or career guarantee.
