How the AI analyst works

A rules-based engine understands the question, runs a real query, and reports only what it computed.

All methodologies Ask the analyst about this
Intermediate 1 min read AIanalystmethodtrust

The analyst is deliberately not a free-writing chatbot.

Pipeline

  1. Understand. It reads your sentence and extracts the intent (area, change, ranking, comparison, carbon, concept…), any country, years and numbers (for example "10%" or "5 km").
  2. Calculate. It runs the matching analysis on Atlas' own database, switching to the country you named.
  3. Answer. It writes the result with the numbers, a table or chart, the sources and a confidence label.
  4. Suggest. It offers follow-up questions.

It never invents numbers. If Atlas lacks the data it says so. For concept questions it quotes the Knowledge Base.

Optional wording model. If configured, a language model may rephrase an answer from the computed facts only; it never sees the database and cannot add numbers.

Records. Every question is logged (who, when, what intent) so answers can be improved. Institutional admins can ask 120 questions an hour, other users 30.

Limits. The analyst understands a fixed set of topics. Unusual phrasing may need rewording; the Ask page lists what it understands.

Asking the analyst well

Name a country, a year or a number, and ask in plain English; use the examples when unsure.

Confidence labels: calculated, illustrative, assumed

Every number is tagged with how it was produced so you know how far to trust it.
