Before I hand this to the CAD lead, make the dataset trustworthy — standardise coordinate columns and units, remove obvious outliers, keep a SourceFile column for each row, collapse identical points, and confirm the query auto-refreshes without prompting so I can feed it straight into the drawing workflow.

The real tasks

6 of them
Convert disparate site survey CSVs into a single cleaned dataset so I can feed coordinates into our drawing software.
Translate a stakeholder's request for 'compare our regions' into a repeatable cross-tab so they can drill into any region quickly.
Translate field GPS points and survey notes into a single table the GIS team can merge with parcel maps.
Unpivot the lab output that was delivered as wide columns so I can run time-series analyses across analytes.
Unpivot the weekly task status export so I can analyze trends by task type across time.
Unpivot weekday and weekend count columns so I have a single event row per timestamp for trend analysis.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
