Evaluate the Effectiveness of Data Storytelling Prompts for Improved Business Insights



Evaluate the effectiveness of five different data storytelling prompts in conveying complex business insights to a non-technical audience.  Each prompt should be designed to extract key findings from a hypothetical dataset representing monthly website traffic, conversion rates, and customer acquisition costs over a one-year period. The dataset should include anomalies (e.g., a sudden drop in traffic during one month).  The prompts should focus on different aspects of data storytelling:  </p>
<p>1. **Narrative Focus:** Frame the data as a compelling narrative, highlighting key events and trends.<br />
2. **Visual Emphasis:**  Guide the generation of a concise, visually appealing summary (assume access to basic chart-creation tools).  Focus on visuals to communicate the story.<br />
3. **Comparison Focus:**  Emphasize year-over-year comparisons and highlight significant changes or deviations from expectations.<br />
4. **Problem/Solution Focus:**  Frame the data to identify a key business problem and propose a potential solution based on the insights.<br />
5. **Actionable Insight Focus:**  Generate clear, actionable recommendations directly from the data analysis.</p>
<p>For each prompt, provide:</p>
<p>* The prompt itself.<br />
* The generated data story (approximately 100 words per story).<br />
* An assessment of the clarity, conciseness, and engagement of the story for a non-technical audience (using a 1-5 rating scale for each, with 5 being the highest).<br />
* An evaluation of how effectively the prompt guided the generation of a compelling and insightful narrative (1-5 rating scale).</p>
<p>Finally, provide an overall ranking of the five prompts based on their effectiveness in generating insightful and engaging data stories for a non-technical audience, justifying your ranking.
