Create an analysis — how it works | MCP Analytics
Create

Commission an analysis for a question nobody has asked yet.

You describe what you want to know in plain English. We work out which method actually answers it, write the code, check the result, and hand back a report — plus the analysis itself, which is yours to keep and re-run.

  1. You state the questionIn your own words, on your own data. No method name required — working out which test applies is the job, not the prerequisite.
  2. We draft the approachThe question is classified, the data profiled, and a specification written: what will be computed, on which columns, and why that method and not another.
  3. It gets built and checkedCode is written and run, then independently verified — assumptions tested, arithmetic reconciled, output validated against the specification before anyone sees it.
  4. You get a module, not just a fileThe report is the visible part. Underneath it is a re-runnable analysis you own: point it at next quarter's data and get the same method applied again.

How deep should it go?

The same question can be answered at different depths. A fast read costs little and arrives in minutes; a full study takes longer and goes further.
