Lesson 3 of 8 · AI Marketing Analytics You Can Explain
In this lesson. Trends, mix shifts, and anomalies — then verify in the sheet.
What you will learn
- Anomalies
- Mix shifts
- Verify in source
Walkthrough
You will ask for anomalies and mix shifts, then click into the sheet. AI is a scout, not the system of record. If a number is surprising, you recompute it.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of AI Marketing Analytics You Can Explain is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Get a first-pass narrative and verify two numbers by hand.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
