# Find out if your hunch about your business holds up in the data

> It might show the problem you've been fixing for months isn't the one the numbers point to.

Tell AI what you believe is happening (why clients leave, which offer sells) and give it your raw export. It tries to prove your belief from the data and tells you if it holds.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I've attached my raw data: [WHAT THE FILE IS, e.g. two years of client cancellations]. I believe this is true: [YOUR BELIEF, e.g. clients leave because onboarding is weak].

Don't just agree with me. Try to reproduce my belief from the raw rows, the way a careful analyst would.
1. Say what the data would look like if my belief were true, and what it would look like if it were false.
2. Check both against the actual rows. Show the key numbers in a small table.
3. Give a verdict: holds up, partly holds up, or doesn't hold up. Explain it in plain words.
4. If something else explains the pattern better, name it and show the numbers.
5. Suggest one cheap test I can run in the next 30 days to confirm it.

Tell me where the data is too thin to be sure. Don't invent rows or numbers that aren't in the file.
```

## Step by step

1. Export your raw data, like a client list or sales report, as a spreadsheet
2. Open Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and attach the file
3. Paste the prompt and write your belief in one sentence
4. Read the verdict and the one test it suggests next

## What you'll get

A plain verdict on your belief, a small table of the numbers behind it, any better explanation the data suggests, and one 30-day test to run.
