Examples
Four worked examples on the free samples, each run live on 2026-09-24 against engine core
d65816fb…. The samples are synthetic, so each example shows how Datagoat behaves, not how your
data will. Every call here is free and deterministic: the same call returns the same numbers.
In each, "on unseen rows" means top_decile_lift: the top tenth of cases by chance, among rows the
model never saw, had the outcome that many times as often as average (Quality).
Deal risk: refused, then answered
Question: will deal deal_0001@demo be won?
- From the deal table alone (
sample:deal_stages: each deal's stage and amount), the answer isrefused(no_finding_cleared). Stage and amount hold no pattern that survives on unseen deals. - From the activity log read as of each stage (
sample:deal_activitywith thesnapshotsshape), it isanswered: p 0.70, confidencehigh, 2.73× on unseen rows, measured on whole deals held out (held_out.whole_cases_by: "deal_id",validation_scheme: out_of_time). - The pattern:
inbound_count_30dover 6,meeting_count_30dover 0,amount12000 or less,inbound_count_7dover 1; this deal meets all four.
The calls: Shapes: snapshots. A longer write-up of the same sample: datagoat.io/gde.
What it does not claim: that meetings cause wins (reasons are associations), or that a real pipeline shows the same pattern.
Machine faults
Question: which of 40 machines will fault in the next three days (sample:sensor_stream,
signals shape, daily snapshots)?
answered, confidencehigh, 3.36× on unseen rows (out_of_time).- The top machine,
asset_030(p 0.59), meets all four pattern conditions:pressure_psi_min_738.359 or less,pressure_psi_min_3over 39.7188,pressure_psi_max_7over 59.017,vibration_max_7over 1.468.
What it does not claim: anything about machines other than these 40 synthetic ones, or a
fault date. Asked with only the first three weeks of readings (as_of 2026-04-22), it answers
not_yet: 840 snapshots are too few to hold out a reliable check.
Agent runs
Question: which of 800 agent runs will fail (sample:agent_traces, traces shape)?
answered, 2.5× on unseen rows (out_of_time), confidencelow.- The riskiest run,
run_0392(p 0.73): the browser tool, which had failed on 21% of earlier runs, on a refactor task. The pattern names the same tool and task. - With
band: true, the top four runs areact/L2, the fifthescalate/L1.
What it does not claim: much certainty. Its own confidence is low: say so when you show it.
Churn and the best offer
Questions: will acct_0001 churn, and which contract makes it least likely
(sample:telco_churn)? Both in one call.
yesno: p 0.198, confidencehigh, 6.19× on unseen rows (holdout); withband: true,escalate/L1.choiceovercontract:one_year(0.091), againsttwo_year(0.198) andmonth-to-month(0.701).- Scored from the fitted model with no fit, a new customer with the same values but
tech_support: yesdrops from 0.63 to 0.12.
What it does not claim: that switching contract or adding tech support would change what a customer does. That is what Did acting work? measures, once you act and report outcomes.
