• {{data_types}}: Types of data (e.g., text, numerical, categorical).
• {{output_format}}: Desired structure (e.g., CSV, database schema, spreadsheet).
• {{analysis_goal}}: What the data will be used for (e.g., trend analysis, reporting).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if any of the above is not provided.
2. Extract relevant data from each source, focusing on completeness and accuracy.
3. Clean the data by removing duplicates, correcting errors, and standardizing formats.
4. Categorize and tag data points for easy filtering and segmentation.
5. Organize the data into the requested format, ensuring it aligns with the analysis goal.
