## Inputs

- **Report Pack Title** (text)
- **Overview JSON** (textarea): { "owner": "BI Team", "period": "2026-Q1", "source": "ERP + CRM" }
- **Detail JSON** (textarea): \[ { "id": 1, "region": "APAC", "amount": 1200 }, { "id": 2, "region": "EMEA", "amount": 950 } \]
- **Anomaly Rules JSON** (textarea): { "amount": { "min": 0, "max": 10000 } }

## When to use

- When you need to deliver professional, multi-tab data reports to stakeholders or auditors.
- When you want to automate the identification of data outliers using both custom rules and auto-detection.
- When you need to provide clear data governance by including a field dictionary alongside your raw data.

## How it works

- Input your summary metadata, raw data records, and optional anomaly rules in JSON format.
- Configure the anomaly detection settings to flag values outside your specified range or above an extreme threshold.
- Provide a field dictionary to ensure data transparency and consistent terminology for the end user.
- Generate and download the consolidated XLSX workbook with all tabs pre-formatted and organized.

## Use cases

- Financial Auditing: Generate comprehensive risk review reports with flagged transactions for internal audit teams.
- Data Governance: Create standardized data delivery packages that include clear field definitions and quality checks.
- Operational Reporting: Automate the creation of weekly performance dashboards that highlight anomalies for quick management review.

## Frequently asked questions

### What tabs are included in the generated workbook?

The workbook includes four tabs: Overview (metadata), Detail (raw data), Anomalies (flagged records), and Dictionary (field definitions).

### Can I define custom anomaly rules?

Yes, you can provide an Anomaly Rules JSON object to set specific minimum and maximum thresholds for your data fields.

### What is the 'Auto Extreme Threshold'?

This is a numeric value used by the tool to automatically flag any data points that exceed your defined limit, even if they don't match specific custom rules.

### Is the dictionary tab required?

No, the dictionary tab is optional, but it is highly recommended for data governance and clear communication of field meanings.

### What format should my input data be in?

All inputs, including overview, details, and rules, must be provided as valid JSON strings.
