Use this skill at the start of EVERY rigorous analytical request — when the user has asked for a metric, comparison, lift estimate, segmentation, dashboard, report, A/B read, attribution claim, or any number-producing analysis AND has not explicitly opted into ad-hoc mode. This skill REFUSES to proceed to data discovery or querying until the question is operationalized (specific, measurable), the decision the answer informs is named, "what would change my mind" is written down, and stakes are flagged. The question doc is logged to the methodology DB. Trigger on phrases like "how is X doing", "is Y working", "compare A and B", "what's the impact of", "did we hit", "is there a difference", "show me", or any analytical framing — even casual ones. Most analytical requests arrive vague; this skill makes them sharp before any data is touched.
