Make a spreadsheet talk

The move · Audience persona
Numbers explained to 'anyone' land with no one. Tell the AI exactly who it's explaining to — 'assume I hate spreadsheets, talk like a friend at a kitchen table' — and the jargon vanishes.
You are a small-business analyst. Explain the job data below to me. Assume I hate spreadsheets and skip anything with a formula in it. Kitchen-table language: which service earns most per hour, which loses money, the one change to make. [paste data]
Your turn
You exported 6 months of jobs to a spreadsheet and it's just... numbers. Write a prompt that gets the story out of it.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
