Product Overview
Most data analysis stalls at the same three points: messy raw data, uncertainty about which statistical test or chart actually fits the question, and reports that take hours to rebuild by hand. The Data Analysis Templates toolkit tackles all three with a framework guide, a statistical methods reference, a visualization guide and a survey design guide, plus editable spreadsheets you can drop your own numbers into.
It is built to work for academic research, internal business reporting or freelance analysis work, with a licence that covers commercial use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What format are the files? One ZIP with 12 files: six PDF guides and references, three editable XLSX templates, plus a README (MD) and licence (TXT).
Can I edit the files? Yes. The three XLSX templates are fully editable, and you can adapt formulas, labels and layout to your own data. The PDF guides are reference material and are not designed to be edited.
What software do I need? A PDF reader and a spreadsheet app such as Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc. The SQL and Python references assume access to a database or Python environment if you choose to use them.
Is this for personal or commercial use? Both. The licence permits personal and commercial use, including internal business reporting and client work. Resale, redistribution and repackaging of the files are not permitted.
What is the refund policy? This is a digital download and is non-refundable once downloaded. If a file is missing or corrupted, contact us and we will send a replacement.
Do I need to know statistics already to use this? No. The Statistical Methods Quick Reference explains what each common test is used for in plain language before you apply it.
Will this work for survey data specifically? Yes, the Survey Research Design Guide is written specifically for structuring survey instruments and preparing that data for analysis.
Is this suitable for business reporting, not just academic research? Yes, the KPI Metrics Tracker and framework guide are written to apply equally to business dashboards and research projects.
Bonus Materials
Two extras are included at no additional cost: the SQL Cheat Sheet, covering the query syntax you need to pull and filter data from a database, and the Python Data Analysis Reference, a quick guide to common pandas patterns for when a project outgrows a spreadsheet. Both are written as a bridge for analysts moving beyond manual spreadsheet work.
