This skill should be used when analyzing business sales and revenue data from CSV files to identify weak areas, generate statistical insights, and provide strategic improvement recommendations. Use when the user requests a business performance report, asks to analyze sales data, wants to identify areas of weakness, or needs recommendations on business improvement strategies.
Generate comprehensive business performance reports that analyze sales and revenue data, identify areas where the business is lacking, interpret what the statistics indicate, and provide actionable improvement strategies. The skill uses data-driven analysis to detect weak areas and recommends specific strategies backed by business frameworks.
Invoke this skill when users request:
The skill expects CSV files containing business data (sales, revenue, transactions) with columns like dates, amounts, categories, or products.
Start by understanding the data structure and what the user wants to analyze.
Ask clarifying questions if needed:
Load and explore the data:
Use the bundled analysis script to generate comprehensive insights:
The script will:
Output structure:
Read the generated JSON report and interpret the findings for the user in plain language.
Focus on:
Example interpretation:
Consult the business frameworks reference to provide strategic recommendations:
Load business frameworks for context:
Refer to references/business_frameworks.md for:
Structure recommendations as:
For each identified weak area, provide:
Example recommendation:
If requested, create interactive visualizations using Plotly to illustrate findings:
Consult visualization guide:
Refer to references/visualization_guide.md for:
Common visualizations to create:
Example code for revenue trend:
Compile findings into a comprehensive report format.
Option A: Generate HTML Report
Use the report template from assets/report_template.html:
The HTML template includes:
Option B: Generate Markdown Report
Create a structured markdown document:
The analysis script calculates the following metrics automatically:
When generating recommendations, leverage the frameworks documented in references/business_frameworks.md:
Match identified weak areas with appropriate strategic frameworks to provide contextually relevant recommendations.
The analysis automatically detects these common business problems:
| Weak Area | Detection Criteria | Typical Root Causes |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue Growth | Negative average growth rate | Market saturation, increased competition, poor positioning |
| Performance Consistency | >40% declining periods | Lack of recurring revenue, seasonal dependency |
| Revenue Stability | CV > 50% | Customer concentration, volatile demand |
| Category Performance | Categories in bottom 25% | Poor product-market fit, pricing issues, low awareness |
