Tasks AI can handle

Running standard statistical analyses, generating charts, cleaning data, writing SQL queries, and producing summary reports from structured data.

Where humans stay essential

Framing the right question, identifying data quality issues, interpreting results in business context, communicating insights to non-technical stakeholders, and making judgment calls on methodology.
