4. For each visualization, describe the key insights it reveals and how they can inform growth strategy.
5. Provide a concise summary of the most significant trends and actionable recommendations.

Output format Organize your response with sections for recommended visualizations, key insights, and strategic recommendations. Use bullet points and clear headings. Maintain a professional, analytical tone.
