# how-to-EDA-using-codex-python
Trust-first EDA: the output is a ranked list of integrity and business findings an
executive can act on, with charts as evidence - not a wall of describe() output.
Sibling of `how-to-eda` (Claude edition): same spine, a toolbox that Codex
assembles from OpenAI/GitHub agent skills plus open-source data libraries, and a
sharper focus on the defects that hide across joins.

## The 6 steps
### 1. Input
Collect the schema (tables, columns, types, one-line descriptions) and business
context. When the data comes from a fresh or unproven pipeline, the objective
shifts from "what's growing" to "can this be trusted yet". Note grain and row
counts. Never trust a foreign key until it has been proven to resolve.
### 2. Sample data (only when real data isn't available yet)
Write a seeded generator (`numpy.random.default_rng(<seed>)`) at realistic scale.
Plant integrity-flavored quirks on purpose - orphan foreign keys, stale price
snapshots, timezone/timestamp bugs, dirty categorical labels, fabricated
(round-number / Benford-breaking) amounts, duplicate identities - and document
each in the docstring. With real data, skip generation; the defects are already
in there.
### 3. Objective
Frame ONE trust question ("can this data be trusted for this quarter's decisions,
and which defect would embarrass the
