Nixtla Explain Analyst

Overview

Generate plain-English explanations of TimeGPT forecasts for non-technical stakeholders, with a short executive narrative plus driver-oriented analysis.

Prerequisites

• A forecast output artifact to explain (CSV/JSON/markdown), or a path under the plugin workspace containing results.
• If using TimeGPT outputs: access to the TimeGPT run metadata used to generate the forecast.

Instructions

1. Locate the forecast results file(s) and any run metadata (model, horizon, frequency, training window).
2. Summarize forecast context: what is being forecast, horizon, and any known events/holidays/regressors.
3. Explain forecast shape using: baseline level, trend direction, seasonal pattern (if present), and uncertainty.
4. Provide driver analysis at the level supported by available data (do not fabricate causal drivers).
5. Produce a stakeholder-ready narrative plus a short technical appendix (assumptions + limitations).
