peer-review-template
When to use
Before any analysis that will influence a significant decision is delivered to stakeholders. Peer review should be part of the standard delivery checklist for: dashboards going into production, reports used for strategic decisions, A/B test conclusions, and any analysis that will be cited externally.
Process
- Agree scope of review — clarify with the author what kind of review is needed: logic check, statistical validity, code review, or presentation clarity. Use
references/peer_review_framework.mdto set expectations. - Review analytical rigour — work through
references/analytical_rigor_checklist.md: are the question and method aligned? Are assumptions valid? Is the conclusion supported by the data? - Review code or SQL — if the analysis involves code, apply
references/code_review_for_analysis.md: reproducibility, correctness, readability, and performance. - Write feedback — use the feedback structure in
assets/peer_review_template.md: must-fix issues, should-fix suggestions, and optional improvements. Be specific; "this is unclear" is not actionable. - Author responds — the author addresses each point and notes disposition (fixed / accepted as-is with rationale / deferred); use
assets/review_response_template.md. - Close the review — reviewer confirms must-fix items are resolved and signs off; document the outcome in
assets/peer_review_template.md.
