> If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md).
Review an analysis for accuracy, methodology, and potential biases before sharing with stakeholders. Generates a confidence assessment and improvement suggestions.
## Usage
```
/validate-data <analysis to review>
```
The analysis can be:
- A document or report in the conversation
- A file (markdown, notebook, spreadsheet)
- SQL queries and their results
- Charts and their underlying data
- A description of methodology and findings
## Workflow
### 1. Review Methodology and Assumptions
Examine:
- **Question framing**: Is the analysis answering the right question? Could the question be interpreted differently?
- **Data selection**: Are the right tables/datasets being used? Is the time range appropriate?
- **Population definition**: Is the analysis population correctly defined? Are there unintended exclusions?
- **Metric definitions**: Are metrics defined clearly and consistently? Do they match how stakeholders understand them?
- **Baseline and comparison**: Is the comparison fair? Are time periods, cohort sizes, and contexts comparable?
