The prompt
On {{anomaly_date}}, {{metric}} spiked to {{anomaly_value}} (normal range: {{normal_range}}). Investigate:
1. Data pipeline logs — any errors or re-processing?
2. Business events — launches, outages, marketing campaigns?
3. Measurement logic — code changes, data type conversions, filter logic?
4. User behavior — bot activity, seasonal event, external news?
5. Upstream dependencies — did any source table change schema or reload?

Provide hypothesis ranked by likelihood with evidence.
