• {{data_points}}: specific items to extract, e.g., names, dates, amounts.
• {{output_format}}: desired format, e.g., CSV, JSON, table.
• {{filters}}: any criteria to narrow down extraction, e.g., date ranges, keywords.
• {{complexities}}: any known issues like tables, handwriting, or poor quality.

Instructions

1. If any of the above context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Once provided, analyze the document content and extract the specified data points, applying any filters.
3. Organize the extracted data into the requested output format, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
4. Flag any ambiguities or complexities encountered during extraction.
5. Provide a brief summary of the extracted data for clarity.

Output format Provide the extracted data in the requested format (e.g., CSV, table) followed by a concise summary of key findings. Use a professional tone.

• If the document is unclear, state assumptions and ask for clarification.
• Stay within the scope of the requested data points.
