Personal Data Analysis Workbench

Start by pasting your numbers into a Markdown table. This could be quarterly revenue, health metrics, experiment results, or anything you want to analyze.

| Quarter | Revenue  | Expenses | Headcount |
|---------|----------|----------|-----------|
| Q1 2025 | $420,000 | $310,000 | 12        |
| Q2 2025 | $485,000 | $340,000 | 14        |
| Q3 2025 | $530,000 | $360,000 | 15        |
| Q4 2025 | $610,000 | $390,000 | 18        |

Markdown tables are a first-class citizen in Moss. Tab between cells, and the table stays aligned.

Use inline formulas to derive key metrics without leaving your note:

• Total annual revenue: {{420000+485000+530000+610000 | 2045000}}
• Q4 profit margin: {{(610000-390000)/610000*100 | 36.07}}%
• Revenue per head (Q4): {{610000/18 | 33889}}
• YoY growth (Q1 to Q4): {{(610000-420000)/420000*100 | 45.24}}%

Formula pills sit inline with your narrative text. They're not in a separate spreadsheet, they're part of your story.

Ask the agent to generate charts from your data, or insert them manually with the /chart-bar slash command (or /chart-line, /chart-area, /chart-donut):

{
  "type": "bar",
  "title": "Revenue vs Expenses",
  "data": [
    { "label": "Q1", "value": 420000 },
    { "label": "Q2", "value": 485000 },
    { "label": "Q3", "value": 530000 },
    { "label": "Q4", "value": 610000 }
  ],
  "options": { "palette": "vibrant" }
}

Try a donut chart to show cost breakdown, or a line chart to show the growth trend. Switch between chart types with a single click on the type selector.

With your data and initial calculations in the note, ask the agent for insights:

• “What's the compound monthly growth rate from Q1 to Q4?”
• “Add a burn rate calculation assuming current expense trends”
• “Generate a projection chart for the next 4 quarters”

The agent writes directly into your note, adding formulas, charts, and narrative text. You edit in place, building up a complete analysis document.

The real value of Moss is that analysis and interpretation live together. Write your conclusions directly below the charts:

## Key Findings

Revenue grew {{(610000-420000)/420000*100 | 45.24}}% over the year,
but headcount grew 50% (12 → 18). Revenue per head actually
**decreased** from {{420000/12 | 35000}} to {{610000/18 | 33889}}.

We need to either:
1. Slow hiring and let revenue/head recover
2. Invest in automation to improve per-person output

See [[Hiring Plan Q1 2026]] for the proposed approach.

When you export this note, stakeholders get a complete analysis: data, visualizations, calculations, and your interpretation. All in one Markdown file.
