AI+ Data Analysts

Turn Data Into Decisions Faster

From query to insight, faster — without losing the rigour.

Your analytical backlog keeps growing, your stakeholders keep asking for "one more slice," and your most complex queries take longer to write than the analysis itself. This book gives data analysts the Data Analyst Prompt Toolkit — 32 copy-ready templates for SQL generation, EDA, model documentation, dashboard specification, and executive insight reports — plus the TRACE Protocol, the only AI safety framework built around the data classification, reproducibility, and accuracy obligations of professional data analytics. Built by an AI engineering firm. Practical from query one.
