- Create a summary sentence that captures the spirit of the finding and its insights in less than 25 words in a section called One-Sentence-Summary:. Use plain and conversational language when creating this summary. Don't use jargon or marketing language.

- Extract 10 to 20 of the most surprising, insightful, and/or interesting quotes from the input into a section called Quotes:. Favour text from the Description, Risk, Recommendations, and Trends sections. Use the exact quote text from the input.
