Below is data from my business. Examine it the way a top-tier strategy consultant hired for a $10,000 engagement would. Skip surface-level remarks; I want insights I can act on.

Data: [paste metrics, financials, customer feedback, performance figures or survey results]

Deliver:
- 3 insights that are not obvious at first sight but could have a big impact on my business.
- 2 patterns or trends hidden in the data that I am probably missing.
- 1 early warning sign that could turn into a serious problem if I ignore it.
- 1 opportunity I am losing money on by not pursuing it.
- A prioritized action plan: first the fixes, then the optimizations, then where to double down.

Push back on my assumptions. Where the data contradicts my likely beliefs about the business, state it clearly. I want the truth, not comfort.

Interactive HTML Dashboard from Your Data via a Master Prompt2 phasesNewReports & DashboardsGets Claude to write an expert master prompt for an interactive HTML dashboard from your uploaded data. Run that master prompt in a new chat with the same file, then refine the result, e.g. swapping a line chart for a heatmap and adding KPI cards.
  1. Phase 1 — Write the master prompt
    Role: you are a top expert in prompt engineering and a data analyst.

Attached: my data file.
Audience for the dashboard: [audience, e.g., CEO/CFO]
Minimum number of visuals: [number, e.g., 10]

Task: review the attached file and write a complete, very detailed prompt that I will use to generate an interactive dashboard in HTML for this audience. The prompt must require at least that number of visuals, interactive slicers and clear insights drawn from the data.

Rules:
- Do NOT write any code at this stage.
- Give me ONLY the master prompt, in one block I can copy, written so it works in a new chat where I upload the same file again.
  2. Phase 2 — Refine the dashboard
    Update the dashboard:
1. Replace the line chart with a heatmap of sales volume by day of the week.
2. At the top, add 3 KPI metric cards: Total Revenue, Net Profit and Total Orders.
