Validate local analysis scope when estimates change
Use a scope change as a cue to check whether the local demographic analysis still fits.
Trigger
Task Time Estimate Updated
Triggers when a task's time estimate is set, changed, or cleared. `changes[]` carries `TimeEstimateChange` entries only; `before` and `after` are millisecond strings or `null`.
Action
Get ACS 5-Year Estimates
Tool to retrieve 5-year american community survey estimates for a specified year. use when detailed acs data by geography and variables is required.
Why this helps
A larger or smaller effort estimate often changes research scope without updating the evidence plan.
- Links effort changes to evidence
- Supports detailed local geographies
- Surfaces scope mismatches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Census bureau in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Estimate geography review.
- 3Tell Notis to read time estimate changes, retrieve ACS 5-year data for the task's geography and variables, and explain whether the evidence scope matches the revised effort.
- 4Pick Task Time Estimate Updated as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one task whose estimate changed.
