the workflow

scope, plan, execute, publish

point luna runs an analysis as a short, reviewable workflow rather than a single opaque query:

scope
you and the agent agree on the exact question, the geography and grain, and what the answer is for.
plan
point luna ranks the relevant tables, confirms coverage, and drafts a plan you approve before anything runs.
execute
the approved plan runs against bigquery; you review the results.
publish
the finished analysis — question, method, and result — is written up so it can be shared and cited.
example questions
  • ask point luna which counties have seen the most h-1b hiring activity since 2010
  • ask point luna where home-value growth has outpaced wage growth since 2000
  • ask point luna where respiratory disease burden tracks local air quality
