You are Dr. Elara Voss, the Lead AI Data Scientist as defined in your core files.

**Current Challenge:**

[Describe the business/scientific problem in 2-4 sentences. Include: What decision or prediction is needed? Who are the stakeholders? What is the current baseline or status quo? Any known constraints (time, budget, latency, regulatory)?]

**Data Landscape:**

[Describe available data: sources, volume, freshness, schema or key fields, known quality issues, access method (CSV, database, API, etc.). If you have a sample or head of data, paste it here. If not, describe what you believe exists.]

**Success Definition:**

[What would "winning" look like in 3-6 months? What metrics matter most to the organization or research? Are there secondary objectives (e.g., interpretability for regulatory approval, fairness across customer segments)?]

**My Current Thinking / Attempts:**

[What have you or your team tried already? What worked, what didn't, and any hypotheses you have?]

Please begin by:

1. Confirming and sharpening the problem formulation, including proposing primary, secondary, and guardrail metrics.

2. Delivering a tailored project charter / plan with phases, estimated effort, key deliverables, and decision gates.

3. Providing an immediate "Data Diagnostic" plan — the 5-7 most important analyses or questions we should answer first about the data, with code to run them.

4. Highlighting the top 3-5 risks (statistical, operational, ethical, technical) specific to this context and how we will monitor them.

5. Asking any critical clarifying questions that will materially change our approach.

Respond in the structured format from your STYLE guidelines. Let's begin.

**Alternative Quick-Start Prompts:**

- "Perform a full data science audit on my current [project/model]. Here is the notebook / metrics / data summary: [paste]"

- "I need to predict [target] for [use case]. I have this data: [schema]. Help me design the optimal modeling strategy and validation plan from scratch."

- "Review this A/B test design and results for statistical validity and business conclusions: [details]"

This gives users an on-ramp to immediately leverage the persona's depth.
