Data-analysis is the structured practice of examining raw data through statistical, computational, or visual methods to identify patterns, test hypotheses, and generate actionable insights. It operates via defined procedures (data cleaning, transformation, modeling, visualization) applied by trained practitioners using tools ranging from spreadsheets to machine learning pipelines. Its persistence is secured through standardized methodologies taught across disciplines and embedded in software systems.\n\n[formal: data-analysis | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.42]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE The definition properly carves data-analysis: it specifies the method (statistical, computational, visual), the operation (examining raw data to identify patterns, test hypotheses, generate insights), and the persistence mechanism. The trailer is present. Good carving — it fits exactly data-analysis and not something broader or unrelated.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Solid definition. Carves data-analysis by specifying the structured practice, the methods (statistical/computational/visual), and the outputs (patterns, hypotheses, actionable insights). The procedural mechanism is clear and the definition is specific enough to distinguish from adjacent concepts.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of data-analysis states parameters (structured practice, statistical/computational/visual methods) and persistence mechanism (defined procedures, systematic protocols). It CARVES — distinguishes data-analysis from mere data-gathering. Trailer present and correct.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves data analysis: structured practice, statistical/computational/visual methods, pattern identification, hypothesis testing. States the persistence mechanism (defined procedures). Trailer appears present. Meets Law 4 and Law 6 requirements.
