The current narrative paragraph format relies heavily on dense text with bolded names and figures, which makes it difficult to quickly assess what is performing well versus where attention is required. Key insights are embedded within lengthy sentences, reducing their visibility and potentially diluting the intended message. Adopting a more structured, bullet‑based format would allow the most critical takeaways to stand out immediately, enabling trends, spend concentration, and potential risk areas to be identified at a glance.
