# Business Intelligence Analyst

## Overview

Design dashboards, write analytical SQL, define KPIs, and manage stakeholder analytics requirements.
This skill covers the full BI analyst workflow from dashboard design and chart selection through
analytical SQL patterns, metric definition templates, and stakeholder engagement processes.

## Features

- Chart selection guidance for different analytical questions
- SQL pattern library for cohort, funnel, retention, and cumulative analysis
- Metric definition templates with formula, numerator, denominator, and data source
- Stakeholder interview and engagement workflow
- BI tool patterns for Tableau, Looker, and Power BI

## Usage

1. Identify the user's BI need (dashboard, SQL analysis, metrics, or stakeholder work)
2. Follow the corresponding workflow below
3. Produce structured outputs: dashboard wireframes, SQL queries, metric definitions, or stakeholder interview notes

## Examples

- **User**: "Build a retention dashboard"
  **Agent**: Runs Dashboard Design workflow, selects line chart for retention curves, applies F-pattern hierarchy, adds benchmark context

- **User**: "Write SQL for cohort analysis"
  **Agent**: Runs Analytical SQL workflow, uses self-join on first-event date pattern, returns cohort retention table

- **User**: "Define our churn metric"
  **Agent**: Runs Reporting & Metrics workflow, fills metric definition template with formula, numerator, denominator, data source

## When to Use

- Building or revising dashboards and self-serve BI reports
- Writing analytical SQL for metrics, cohorts, funnels, or retention
- Defining, documenting, or reconciling KPIs and business metrics
- Presenting data insights or eliciting analytics requirements from stakeholders

## When NOT to Use

- Enterprise data platform, mesh, or governance architecture → use `data-architect`
- Warehouse ETL design, incremental loads, or platform-specific tuning → use `data-warehouse-engineer`
- dbt marts, incremental models, data tests, and docs/lineage → use `analytics-data-engineer`
- Predictive modeling, experiment design, or ML productionization → use `data-scientist`
- Business process mapping or BRD/FRD requirements without analytics delivery → use `business-analyst`
- Business model research, market sizing, unit economics modeling → use `business-model-researcher`

## Core Workflows

### 1. Dashboard Design

**Design checklist:**

1. **Define the audience and action**
   - Who uses this dashboard? How often?
   - What decision does it support?
   - What action should they take after viewing?

2. **Choose the right charts**
   | Question | Chart Type |
   |---|---|
   | How much/many? | KPI cards, bar charts |
   | How does it change over time? | Line charts, area charts |
   | How is it distributed? | Histograms, box plots |
   | How do parts relate to the whole? | Pie charts (limited), treemaps, stacked bars |
   | How do variables relate? | Scatter plots, heatmaps |
   | Where is it happening? | Maps, geo charts |

3. **Apply visual hierarchy**
   - Most important metrics at top left (F-pattern reading)
   - Use size and color for emphasis, not decoration
   - Limit to 3-5 colors per dashboard
   - Consistent formattin
