  4. Categorize debts into short-term, medium-term, and long-term, and provide insights on the total amount in each category.
  5. Calculate the debt-to-income ratio (or debt-to-EBITDA) and assess the risks associated with current debt levels.
  6. Propose strategies to improve the overall debt situation, such as refinancing, consolidation, or repayment restructuring.
