Atlas works best when you ask focused questions with specific metrics, dates, and groups. Here's how to get useful answers. Strong: 'Show me shifts last Tuesday' or 'What late arrivals happened this week?'. Weak: 'When did someone clock in late?' (too vague, unclear date range). Strong: 'Compare my fill rate in June vs. July' (clear comparison). Weak: 'How was my fill rate?' (no time reference) Strong: 'What are my total hours for caregivers this pay period?' (single metric). Weak: 'Tell me everything about payroll' (too broad). Strong: 'Which clients had more than 40 hours last month?' (one question). Weak: 'Show me client hours, caregiver hours, and billing amounts' (too many at once) Strong: 'Who's available to cover Friday?' (asking for caregivers). Weak: 'Do we have coverage?' (unclear who or what). Strong: 'Which caregivers are expiring credentials this month?' (specific group). Weak: 'Show me credential issues' (too general) First ask: 'What are my total late arrivals this week?'. Follow-up: 'Which clients had the late arrivals?' (drill in on one result). Follow-up: 'Why was [client name] late?' (get context from Atlas)
