Unless you're saying that your time is worth less than you'd pay the analyst?

Sounds cool until it produces the wrong results.. then you'll need to hire an analyst to check every query just in case.
In my experience business people often have a 'nose' for the right number and will bluff it out if the numbers are wrong and they're challenged.
Blue sky things or stuff you're putting in the annual report should be left to hoomans IMHO.
I think a lot of business owners would be relatively happy with automated instant answers, or get carefully considered answers in a week.
In many professions, it is common to have junior staff members do the grunt work, and then the more senior staff just review their work and either sign off on it, correct it, or send it back to be redone. You could use the same pattern here, replacing the junior staff with an AI, but keeping the senior one.
This all assumes that the bot doesn't need tweaking for every answer — i.e. it gets at least some answers right without needing modifications to the bot — which appears to be the case based on the examples in the post.
I'll continue to think about it and write something up!
