- {{target_audience}}: Optional: the primary audience (e.g., investors, customers, employees).
- {{visual_preferences}}: Optional: any preferences for charts, graphs, or other visual elements.
Instructions

- For each section, synthesize the data into clear, concise narratives that highlight achievements, challenges, and future commitments.
- Identify key performance indicators (KPIs) and present them in a visually appealing way, using tables or suggesting chart types.
- Ensure the language is appropriate for the target audience and aligns with the chosen reporting standard.
- Provide a draft that is ready for review, with placeholders for any missing information.
