FAQPage Schema
How do I answer questions about a markdown analysis report using CSV data?▼

To answer questions about a markdown analysis report, the system reads report.md and results.csv data to generate a structured answer. If the existing report is insufficient, it runs optional deeper analysis and saves artifacts in a per-question output directory.

What is the best way to extract specific data insights from a generated analysis report?▼

Extract data insights from an analysis report by querying the system to read the existing report and results.csv. It performs additional reproducible Python analyses when needed and returns a structured markdown answer with metadata for traceability.

Can I run reproducible Python analysis if my current report cannot answer my question?▼

Yes, if the existing report cannot fully answer your question, the system runs optional reproducible Python analyses. It executes the analysis and saves any resulting artifacts in a per-question output directory for reference.

Does this question-answering approach save metadata for traceability with the answers?▼

Yes, the question-answering process saves metadata for traceability. It always writes a structured markdown answer file alongside a metadata file to ensure every generated response is traceable to its source analysis and data.

What do I need to generate a structured answer from an existing analysis run?▼

To generate a structured answer from an analysis run, provide a specific question and an optional analysis directory. The system reads the latest report.md and results.csv artifacts to construct the answer and metadata.
