The Anatomy of Automated Analysis
1. Smart Data Ingestion
Scoop automatically handles data complexity:
| Detection | What Scoop Identifies |
|---|---|
| File Structure | Delimiters, headers, encoding |
| Data Types | Dates, numbers, categories, text |
| Embedded Elements | Subtotals, merged cells, notes |
| Quality Issues | Missing values, outliers, inconsistencies |
Automatic Data Cleaning
| Issue | Scoop's Action |
|---|---|
| Missing values | Identifies patterns, suggests handling |
| Duplicate rows | Flags potential duplicates |
| Mixed formats | Normalizes to consistent format |
| Outliers | Detects and highlights for review |
2. Semantic Modeling
Scoop's AI understands what your data means:
| Analysis | Description |
|---|---|
| Column Meaning | Infers business purpose of each field |
| Relationships | Discovers how columns relate |
| Categories | Identifies dimension vs. measure |
| Time Series | Detects date hierarchies |
Automatic Enrichment
| Enhancement | Example |
|---|---|
| Date bucketing | Extract month, quarter, year |
| Age calculations | Days since created, age ranges |
| Derived ratios | Conversion rates, per-unit metrics |
| Category grouping | Combine similar values |
3. Insight Discovery (AI & ML)
Scoop applies multiple analytical techniques automatically:
Segmentation and Clustering
| Method | What It Finds |
|---|---|
| Clustering | Natural groupings in your data |
| Rules Models | Clear descriptions of each segment |
| Profiles | Characteristics of each group |
Example outputs:
- "High-value customers: 23% of base, 67% of revenue, primarily Enterprise tier"
- "At-risk segment: 150 accounts with declining usage and no recent engagement"
Comparisons and Drivers
| Analysis | What You Learn |
|---|---|
| Period comparison | What changed from last quarter |
| Group comparison | What differentiates won vs. lost |
| Driver identification | Which factors matter most |
Trend and Anomaly Detection
| Detection | Description |
|---|---|
| Trends | Rising, falling, seasonal patterns |
| Anomalies | Unusual spikes or drops |
| Correlations | Variables that move together |
Tip: All ML results are explained in plain English, not technical jargon. You'll see clear rules and drivers, not black-box predictions.
4. Automated Visualization
Scoop selects the right chart for each insight:
| Data Pattern | Chart Selected |
|---|---|
| Time series | Line chart |
| Category comparison | Bar or column chart |
| Part of whole | Pie or donut chart |
| Distribution | Histogram |
| Correlation | Scatter plot |
| Summary metrics | KPI cards |
Chart Intelligence
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Right chart type | Selected based on data characteristics |
| Optimal formatting | Labels, legends, colors applied |
| Responsive sizing | Adapts to slide/canvas layout |
| Interactive elements | Drill-down and filtering enabled |
5. Narrative Generation
Scoop writes the story of your data:
| Narrative Type | Content |
|---|---|
| Executive Summary | Top-level themes and takeaways |
| Insight Summaries | Business interpretation of each finding |
| Metric Commentary | Context for key numbers |
| Recommendations | Suggested actions based on patterns |
Example Narratives
Executive Summary:
"Revenue grew 12% this quarter, driven primarily by Enterprise segment expansion. However, SMB churn increased to 8%, warranting attention. Three regions significantly outperformed targets."
Insight Summary:
"Won deals spend 40% less time in the Proposal stage compared to lost deals, suggesting faster quote turnaround correlates with success."
