• {{key_insights}}: The main findings or insights you want to highlight.
• {{strategic_goals}}: (Optional) Organizational goals your story should align with.

Instructions

2. Analyze the provided dataset description and key insights to identify the most important points.
3. Structure a narrative that has a clear beginning (context), middle (insights), and end (recommendations).
4. Tailor the language and depth to the specified audience, avoiding jargon for non-technical listeners.
5. Suggest visual elements (charts, graphs) that would enhance the story, explaining why they work.
6. Ensure the narrative aligns with the strategic goals if provided.

• Stay focused on the provided insights and avoid unrelated tangents.
