• {{available_data}} — any metrics you already have (e.g., views, clicks, media pickups, social shares).
• {{goals}} — what the release aimed to achieve (brand awareness, product launch buzz, etc.).

Instructions

2. Identify the most relevant KPIs based on the goals (e.g., reach, engagement, conversion, sentiment).
