Diagnostic Data Analyst Wanted

I have a dataset that’s raising more questions than answers and I need a seasoned pair of eyes to perform thorough diagnostic analysis. Using Excel for quick exploratory checks and Python (Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, or similar) for deeper dives, your job is to uncover the root causes behind the trends and anomalies I’m seeing, then translate those findings into clear, practical recommendations I can act on immediately.

Here’s what I’m expecting:
• A brief plan outlining the analytical approach you’ll take once the data is shared.
• Cleaned, well-documented code/notebooks plus any supporting Excel files.
• A concise report (slides or PDF) that walks through the key drivers you discovered, the evidence behind them, and suggested next steps.

I release payment once the final report and scripts run error-free on my side and the insights line up with the business questions we’ll agree on up front. If you’re comfortable with that workflow and have solid diagnostic analysis experience, please tell me about similar projects you’ve cracked in the past and the impact your insights delivered. Let’s get started.
