A task performed by Mathematicians
Assemble sets of assumptions, and explore the consequences of each set.
Probably not worth it. Both worker desire (2.71/5) and AI capability (2/5) are on the low side. It sits in the Low Priority zone.
Do you want this task automated?

How to automate this
Low priority to automate, but here is the gist if you want to try.
Analyzing & processing data
Let the spreadsheet or a BI tool do the math and the charts.
- 1Set up formulas and pivot tables once, so the numbers you need to assemble sets of assumptions, and explore the consequences of each set recalculate themselves.
- 2Connect a free dashboard so reports refresh themselves (Looker Studio, Power BI).
- 3Use AI to summarise the findings, but keep the numbers in the spreadsheet.
