Product guide
Using the app
A practical guide to moving from a raw file to evidence your team can inspect, export, and share.
Analyze a file
- Drop up to 10 files in the Ridge workspace, or paste an
https://link to a file. Supported:.xlsx.xls.csv.json.txt.md.pdf.pptx.ppt.docx.doc. - Uploads are capped at 4 MB per request; larger files (to 25 MB) go through the link box, which fetches server-side.
- Multi-sheet workbooks get a sheet picker after the first run.
No API key required
- "Analyze data" runs the deterministic pipeline: statistics per column, a data-quality grade, pairwise-complete correlations with sample sizes, date profiles, and structured evidence.
- Adding an Anthropic API key through AI settings unlocks Explain with Claude, cross-file synthesis, and follow-up questions. Deterministic numbers stay exactly the same either way.
- For documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint), keyless mode shows the extracted text and counts; AI reading requires a key.
Evidence
- Every material finding is a structured object: claim, metric, columns, method, sample size
n, coverage, strength, and caveat. AI text may explain these objects but cannot add numbers of its own. - Optionally pick a target column on the dashboard to focus evidence on one outcome: group comparisons, correlations with the target, missingness impact, and trends over time.
Save, share, export
- Nothing is stored unless you tick Save this analysis before running — see Privacy for exactly what a saved analysis contains.
- Saved analyses appear under Recent analyses, produce a share link, and can be deleted there.
- Any result can be exported as JSON or as a printable report, saved or not.
