Writing up an analysis so someone reads it
After this you can write a README and summary that lead with the findings, support each with evidence and state limitations plainly.
Why it matters
Analysts tend to write chronologically: first I loaded, then I cleaned, then I found. Nobody reads that. Invert it: findings first, each with the supporting number, then method, then caveats. Give each chart a title that states its claim. Naming your limitations before a reviewer does reads as competence; hiding them reads as inexperience.
