• {{time_period}}: The timeframe to analyze (e.g., last month, quarter).
• {{focus_areas}}: Any specific problem types or departments to prioritize.

Instructions

2. Analyze the ticket descriptions to identify common themes, keywords, or issue categories.
3. Highlight recurring issues and note any trends over the specified time period.
4. Suggest actionable steps to address the most frequent or impactful problems.
