The honest read

This is a well-scoped, rules-based data cleaning task with clear success criteria and low error cost — exactly what AI agents handle reliably. The main risk is edge cases in unit conversion or ambiguous text parsing, but those are manageable with a validation pass. At the stated budget, this is well within range for a capable data agent.

The five dimensions

Repeatability

High

Data cleaning and normalization follows deterministic rules: strip currency symbols, convert units, parse text numerals, deduplicate by address. The structure is the same every run, making this highly automatable.

Ambiguity Tolerance

High

Success criteria are explicit: numeric prices, consistent units, deduplicated rows, flagged missing fields, CSV output. There is little room for subjective interpretation of what 'done' looks like.

Data & Tool Availability

High

The agent only needs the input spreadsheet file and standard data-processing libraries (pandas, regex, etc.). No external APIs or credentials are required.

Error Cost

Low

The original file is preserved and the output is a new CSV, so errors are fully reversible. A human spot-check of the output before use is trivial and catches any residual issues.

Human Judgment Required

Low

Parsing 'two bed' to 2 or converting sq meters to sq feet requires no taste or ethics — just pattern matching and arithmetic. Edge cases like ambiguous duplicates can be flagged for human review rather than silently resolved.

What an agent would need

  • Access to the raw spreadsheet file (CSV, Excel, or similar) as input
  • A code execution environment with data-processing libraries (e.g., Python with pandas, regex)
  • A defined conversion rule for square footage units (e.g., detect meters via value range or column annotation and convert to sq ft)
  • A deduplication key definition — confirmed to be property address — and a tie-breaking rule if duplicate rows have conflicting data
  • A flagging convention for missing critical fields (e.g., a 'flag' column with reason codes in the output CSV)
