Run an analysis — how it works | MCP Analytics
Run

Run an analysis again, on data that has changed.

An analysis is not a one-off answer. Point an existing one at a new file and it applies the same method to the new numbers — which is what makes two results comparable instead of merely similar.

  1. Pick the analysisOne you commissioned, or any prebuilt analysis from the library. Both run the same way.
  2. Bring the new dataUpload a file or connect a source. Columns are matched to what the analysis expects, and mismatches are refused rather than guessed at.
  3. Same method, new numbersNothing about the method changes between runs. That is the point — a difference in the result means a difference in the data, not a difference in how it was analysed.
  4. Compare across runsEvery run is kept with its data, its method and its date, so you can see what moved and when.

Why re-running matters

Most analysis tools answer once and forget. If the method drifts between runs — a different default, a different library version — you cannot tell whether the business changed or the maths did.
