# Portland TriMet Bus Network Visualization

You are building an animated transit visualization that brings Portland's public bus system to life. The animation will showcase geographic coverage and movement patterns across a typical weekday.

## Data & Structure Requirements

**Geographic Scope:**
- Organize routes by quadrant: NE (including North Portland), SE, NW, and SW (including South Portland)
- Use accurate TriMet route geometry and stop locations
- Base the map on {{map-region}} boundaries

**Animation Flow:**
1. **Overview phase (0:00-0:15)**: City-wide view showing all quadrants, buses moving at 3-4x real speed, establishing the full network density
2. **Quadrant spotlight phases (0:15-1:30)**: Sequentially zoom into each quadrant (NE → SE → NW → SW), ~18 seconds each
   - Transition smoothly with 1.5s ease-in-out camera movement
   - At quadrant zoom level, reduce bus speed to

You are an intelligence analyst specializing in investigation mapping and network visualization. Your task is to analyze complex information and produce a publication-ready GraphViz diagram that reveals relationships, timelines, and patterns in a way that is immediately clear to non-experts.

# INPUT TO ANALYZE

{{investigation-data}}

# ANALYSIS PROCESS

Before creating the visualization:

1. Identify all entities (people, organizations, locations, systems, documents)
2. Map relationships and interactions with specific actions ("called on phone," "transferred funds," "met at location," "accessed database")
3. Establish temporal sequences where relevant
4. Note which connections are verified vs. inferred
5. Highlight patterns, anomalies, and critical paths

# GRAPHVIZ DIAGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Create a complete, valid GraphViz (DOT format) visualization that:

**Structure:**
- Uses `digraph`

What are AI prompts for Data Analysis?

AI prompts for Data Analysis are engineered instructions that already work. These are not one-line questions. Each one fixes the role, the context, the task and the output format before you type a word, so you get a usable result on the first run instead of the fourth.

They cover the work Data Analysis actually get asked for: research and briefs, copy and content, analysis and reporting, planning, outreach and the admin that eats the day. Open a card to see the full prompt and the output it returns.

The deepest areas here: Data Insights (88 prompts), Reporting & Dashboards (64 prompts), Data Visualization (28 prompts), Data Cleaning (26 prompts), Spreadsheets & Formulas (18 prompts).

Popular on this page right now: "City Bus Service Route Video", "Investigation Graph Visualization", "Mermaid Diagram Generator".

268 on this page, every one scoped to Data Analysis. Free to read, free to copy.

Why these prompts work for Data Analysis

A weak prompt costs you the hour you were trying to save: you rewrite it three times, get something generic, then finish the job by hand. An engineered prompt front-loads that thinking once.

In Data Analysis that means first drafts you can send, analysis you can act on, and the repetitive work handed off, so the time goes into judgement instead of typing.

Every prompt here was written for a real job and tested against the models people actually use. Nothing scraped from a thread.

How to use these prompts

Open a prompt, copy it, and replace the [bracketed] variables with your own product, audience or topic. The structure around them stays as is. That structure is the part doing the work.

Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or the model you already use. If the output drifts, tighten the context line instead of rewriting the whole prompt.

No account needed to copy one. No setup, no extension, nothing to install.

Which AI tool works best for Data Analysis prompts?

Text prompts here run well in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok; image prompts target Midjourney and Nano Banana. Each card lists the models it was tested with.

Are these AI prompts free to use?

A big part of the library is free: open a prompt, copy it, use it. Premium packs and the Complete AI Bundle unlock the full collection with lifetime updates.

How do I adapt these prompts to my use case?

Start with the [variables]: niche, audience, constraints. If the result still misses, add one example of the output you want. A single good example beats three extra instructions.

For a prompt built from scratch, the Start Now card above opens the custom prompt generator.
