The honest read

This is a well-scoped data transformation task with explicit, verifiable rules: cost normalization, location code mapping, date parsing, row filtering, and flagging logic. The main risk is the footnote sheet for case-vs-unit cost conversion — if that mapping isn't fully machine-readable, a human needs to pre-process it. Everything else is deterministic and reversible.

The five dimensions

Repeatability

High

The transformation rules are fixed and structural: date normalization, location code mapping, cost standardization, and flag logic are all deterministic. This task is highly repeatable and could be scripted once and rerun on future exports.

Ambiguity Tolerance

High

Success criteria are explicit and enumerable: ISO dates, per-unit costs, normalized location codes, blank-cost rows removed, zero-quantity stale SKUs flagged. An agent can verify each rule independently with no subjective judgment required.

Data & Tool Availability

Medium

The main CSV is available, but the footnote sheet containing case-vs-unit mappings is a separate file that must also be provided and must be machine-readable. If the footnotes are unstructured prose or inconsistently formatted, the agent will need human help to parse the conversion logic.

Error Cost

Medium

Incorrect cost normalization could propagate bad unit costs into purchasing or pricing decisions, which has real financial consequences. However, the output is a CSV that a human can audit before ingestion, and the source data is preserved, making errors detectable and reversible.

Human Judgment Required

Low

No taste, ethics, or relationship context is needed. The only judgment call is interpreting ambiguous footnotes, which is a bounded parsing problem rather than a subjective one — and can be resolved by providing a clean mapping table upfront.

What an agent would need

  • The main 3,200-row CSV file with all eight columns provided directly to the agent
  • The footnote sheet with case-vs-unit cost mappings in a structured or semi-structured format (not free-form prose)
  • A complete mapping of all three warehouse location naming conventions to the target standard codes
  • A code execution environment (Python/pandas or similar) to run transformation logic reliably at scale
  • Clear specification of what 'flagged for review' means in the output — a new column, a separate sheet, or a filtered export
