- ### Churn rate by activity segment

- Query: SELECT activity_bucket, COUNT(*), AVG(churned) FROM user_segments GROUP BY 1

- <!--

- WHAT: Formal statistical test results with all relevant metrics.

49
- EXAMPLE:

- | Chi-squared (churn ~ activity) | p=0.003 | Cramer's V=0.31 | Reject null: activity segments differ significantly in churn |

- # Task Plan: [Analytics Project Description]
2
- <!--
3
- WHAT: Roadmap for a data analytics or exploration session.
4
- WHY: Analytics workflows have different phases than software development — hypothesis testing,
5
- data quality checks, and statistical validation don't map to a generic build cycle.
6
- WHEN: Create this FIRST before starting any data exploration. Update after each phase.
7
- -->
8
-
9
- ## Goal
10
- <!--
11
- WHAT: One clear sentence describing what you're trying to learn or produce.
12
- EXAMPLE: "Determine which user segments have the highest churn risk using last 90 days of activity data."
13
- -->
14
- [One sentence describing the analytical objective]
15
-
16
- ## Current Phase
17
- <!--
18
- WHAT: Which phase you're currently working on (e.g., "Phase 1", "Phase 3").
19
- WHY: Quick reference for where you are. Update this as you progress.
20
- -->
21
- Phase 1
22
-
23
- ## Phases
24
-
25
- ### Phase 1: Data Discovery
26
- <!--
27
- WHAT: Connect to data sources, understand schemas, assess data quality.
28
- WHY: Bad data produces bad analysis. This phase prevents wasted effort on unreliable inputs.
29
- -->
30
- - [ ] Identify and connect to data sources
31
- - [ ] Document schemas and field descriptions in findings.md
32
- - [ ] Assess data quality (nulls, duplicates, outliers, date ranges)
33
- - [ ] Estimate dataset size and query performance
34
- - **Status:** in_progress
35
-
36
- ### Phase 2: Exploratory Analysis
37
- <!--
38
- WHAT: Distributions, correlations, outliers, initial patterns.
39
- WHY: Understanding the shape of your data before testing hypotheses prevents false conclusions.
40
- -->
41
- - [ ] Compute summary statistics for key variables
42
- - [ ] Visualize distributions and relationships
43
- - [ ] Identify outliers and anomalies
44
- - [ ] Document initial patterns in findings.md
45
- - **Status:** pending
46
-
47
- ### Phase 3: Hypothesis Testing
48
- <!--
49
- WHAT: Formalize hypotheses, run statistical tests, validate findings.
50
- WHY: Moving from "it looks like X" to "we can confidently say X" requires structured testing.
51
- -->
52
- - [ ] Formalize hypotheses from exploratory phase
53
- - [ ] Select appropriate statistical tests
54
- - [ ] Run tests and record results in findings.md
55
- - [ ] Validate findings against holdout data or alternative methods
56
- - **Status:** pending
57
-
58
- ### Phase 4: Synthesis & Reporting
59
- <!--
60
- WHAT: Summarize findings, create visualizations, document conclusions.
61
- WHY: Analysis without clear communication is wasted work. This phase produces the deliverable.
62
- -->
63
- - [ ] Summarize key findings with supporting evidence
64
- - [ ] Create final visualizations
65
- - [ ] Document conclusions and recommendations
66
- - [ ] Note limitations and areas for further investigation
67
- - **Status:** pending
68
-
69
- ## Hypotheses
70
- <!--
71
- WHAT: Questions you're investigating, stated as testable hypotheses.
72
- WHY: Explicit hypotheses prevent fishing expeditions and keep analysis focused.
73
- EXAMPLE:
74
- 1. Users who logged in < 3 times in the last 30 days have > 50% churn rate (H1)
75
- 2. Feature X adoption correlates with retention (r > 0.3) (H2)
76
- -->
77
- 1. [Hypothesis to test]
78
- 2. [Hypothesis to test]
79
-
80
- ## Decisions Made
81
- <!--
82
- WHAT: Analytical decisions with reasoning (e.g., choosing a test, filtering criteria).
83
- EXAMPLE:
84
- | Use median instead of mean | Revenue data is heavily right-skewed |
85
- | Filter to last 90 days | Earlier data uses a different tracking schema |
86
- -->
87
- | Decision | Rationale |
88
- |----------|-----------|
89
- | | |
90
-
91
- ## Errors Encountered
92
- <!--
93
- WHAT: Every error you encounter, what attempt number it was, and how you resolved it.
94
- EXAMPLE:
95
- | Query timeout on raw table | 1 | Added date partition filter |
96
- | Null join keys in user_events | 2 | Inner join instead of left join, documented data loss |
97
- -->
98
- | Error | Attempt | Resolution |
99
- |-------|---------|------------|
100
- | | 1 | |
101
-
102
- ## Notes
103
- - Update phase status as you progress: pending -> in_progress -> complete
104
- - Re-read this plan before major analytical decisions
105
- - Log ALL errors - they help avoid repetition
106
- - Write query results and visual findings to findings.md immediately
