Check Before Stating

Start with final visit counts: email has 4, search has 3, and ads has 3. Before writing the result, check that the data dictionary was read, cleaning is done, labels and units are clear, n = 10 is counted, and the chart readout is stated. Then the final sentence can stay simple: email is top with 4 of 10 visits. That is a readout, not a broad claim.

A tiny final-readout checklist: confirm the data dictionary, cleaning, labels, n, and stated chart readout before writing the result.
