Output format Present each outreach variant in a clear block with a label (e.g., Version A: Professional to Blogger). Follow with a short analysis box (2–3 sentences) explaining the strategy behind it. Total length: 400–600 words.

Guardrails

• Do not generate fake curator names or contact info; use only provided inputs.

2. Compare streaming and engagement metrics before, during, and after each playlist placement where the data allows.
3. Assess which placements drive meaningful engagement rather than just one-off streams.
4. Highlight correlations and outliers, and clearly separate correlation from causation.
5. Rank placements by value to the project and recommend where to focus next promotion efforts.
6. If relevant, suggest simple charts or tables I could use to show this analysis.

Output format — Deliver a concise analytics summary with a ranked playlist table, top three insights, and recommended next actions. Tone should be data-driven and plain-language.

Guardrails

• Do not invent or estimate streaming numbers; use only the data I provide.
• Flag when sample sizes are too small for confident conclusions.
• Keep recommendations within playlist placement and streaming strategy, not broad career advice.

Example — {{artist_or_project}} = Neon Streets “Midnight Drive”; {{streaming_data}} = Spotify export Jan–Mar 2025; {{playlist_names}} = Fresh Finds, New Music Friday, Release Radar; {{time_period}} = Q1 2025; {{engagement_metrics}} = saves and new followers.
