When to use it

When your analysis is done and you need to write it up

Step by step

  1. Collect your raw findings

    Gather your key numbers, notable quotes and what you think they mean in one document. Messy is fine.

  2. Ask for a reader-friendly draft

    Paste this prompt with your findings.

    Prompt to copyWrite up these research findings as a report for [audience, e.g. the leadership team] who have 5 minutes. Structure: 1) Headline: the single most important thing we learned, in one sentence, 2) Three to five key findings, each with the supporting number and what it means for the business, 3) What surprised us, 4) Recommendations with a suggested owner, 5) Limits of this research (sample, timing, gaps). Use plain English, no jargon. Do not add any figures that aren't in my notes. My findings: [paste findings]
  3. Check every number

    Go through the draft line by line and tick off each figure against your source data.

  4. Make it look finished

    Paste it into Google Docs, add your charts under each finding and share it.

What you get

Headline: Price isn't why people leave; slow delivery is. Finding 2: 41% of lapsed customers mentioned delivery in open comments, compared with 12% who mentioned price. So what: a delivery guarantee may win back more than a discount. Limit: online customers only.
