  • {{data}}: A summary or link to your performance data.
  • {{report_period}}: The time period for the report (e.g., monthly, quarterly).

Instructions

  1. If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Analyze the provided performance data for the specified period.

Output format Provide a report template with sections: Overview, KPI Summary (with tables), Trend Analysis, SLA Compliance, and Recommendations. Use clear headings and bullet points. Tone should be professional and data-focused.

  • Stay within the scope of performance reporting; do not include unrelated logistics topics.
