• {{social media platforms}}: the specific platforms (e.g., Twitter, Instagram, TikTok)
• {{data type}}: the kind of data (e.g., post engagement, sentiment scores, trending topics, follower growth)
• {{time period}}: the date range for the data (e.g., Q1 2024, October 2024)
• {{visualization format}}: preferred chart type (e.g., line chart, bar chart, heatmap, word cloud) or leave open
• {{target audience}}: who will view the visualization (e.g., marketing team, executives)

Instructions

2. Suggest appropriate chart types for each data dimension, explaining why.
3. Describe the visualization in detail: axes, color coding, legends, and any annotations.
4. If requested, provide code (e.g., Python with matplotlib/seaborn) or pseudo-code to generate the chart.
5. Interpret the visualization: highlight key trends, outliers, and actionable insights.

Output format For each visualization: title, chart type, data mapping, description, key insights. Optionally include code block. Guardrails

• Do not fabricate data; use only the provided context.
