At the same time, the analysis should have depth, not only to look at the surface data indicators, but also to explore the potential laws and trends behind the data, to provide more valuable advice and decision support for enterprises.

Finally, the report should be written clearly, concisely and persuasively. The writing of the report should follow the principles of conciseness, clarity and persuasiveness, avoid lengthy and complicated statements, and highlight the key points and conclusions.
