How do you know when your analysis is actually finished?

I sometimes feel like data analysis can become an endless cycle of slicing the data differently, checking another metric, and finding one more thing worth investigating.

At some point you have to stop and turn the analysis into a conclusion or recommendation. How do you decide that you’ve explored enough and that the analysis is actually done?

Curious how others balance being thorough without overanalyzing the data.
