Can I watch the Analyst agent's steps as it investigates a question?
Yes — iDBQuery's Analyst agent works transparently, showing the plan it forms and the intermediate queries and findings as it investigates, rather than jumping to a conclusion. You can follow its reasoning, see each query it ran, and check the cited evidence behind every step of its investigation.
The Analyst agent tackles open-ended questions — "why did revenue drop last month?" — by investigating on its own across your data. Crucially, it does this in the open.
- Visible plan. It breaks the question into steps — check overall trend, segment by product, region, and channel, isolate the biggest movers — and you can see that plan.
- Step-by-step queries. As it works, each query it runs and the intermediate result is shown, so the investigation reads like an analyst thinking out loud, not a black box.
- Cited findings. Every figure it surfaces along the way is cited back to source rows, so you can verify the evidence at each stage, not just the final summary.
This transparency is what makes an autonomous agent trustworthy for real decisions. Instead of a confident conclusion you have to accept, you get the reasoning and the receipts, and you can intervene — redirect it, add a constraint, or ask it to dig into a particular branch. It's the difference between delegating to an analyst who shows their work and one who just hands you a number.
