adoptionIterative problem optimization + business scenario validation(c) A double-loop mechanism:

Cycle 1: Problem Polishing
1. Business people enter the original question (e.g., "Analyze customer retention")
2. Get optimization suggestions through "Query Suggestions" (e.g. broken down into "next month retention rate", "feature usage retention correlation")
3. Use "Save as Variant" to save the query results of each version.
Cycle 2: Scenario Validation
1. Embedding query results into actual business processes (e.g., importing "high-risk churn list" into sales follow-up system)
2. Regular (weekly) comparison of data forecasts against business results variances
3. Attribution analysis using the "Compare Queries" function

Establish a <48-hour feedback loop: business teams need to validate data findings within 2 business days of challenging them
Set up business metrics mapping tables (e.g. "1 point increase in customer satisfaction = 3% increase in retention")
Add "Exception Rules" for high-frequency misclassification scenarios (e.g., exclude trial period users)
