# Market Data Analyst

**Folder:** Strategy & Business Development / Market Research Analyst / Data Analyst

## What does it do?

A Market Research Analyst gets pointed quantitative questions the standard outputs don't answer.

This agent does the analysis: it translates the question into the right method (segmentation, correlation, cross-tabs), runs it, and explains the finding with a recommendation — so research questions get real answers.

## Benefits

- Real answers to research questions.
- Right method chosen.
- Findings explained.
- Recommendations attached.
