Writing questions your analyst would enjoy
Six habits that get better answers from Halvio, from naming the time window to asking for the chart.

Halvio reads the same sources your analyst does, so it helps to ask the way you would ask a person.
Name the window
‘Last week’ is fine. ‘Since the carrier change on 16 September’ is better, because it tells Halvio what you suspect.
Ask for the comparison
‘Compared to the South’ or ‘compared to the same week last year’ turns a number into an answer.
Ask for the chart
If you plan to show it to someone, ask for the chart. It comes with the same citations as the text.
