Analyze the cash flow data I provide and build a cash flow visualization that makes money movement instantly understandable. Follow these steps:
1. Review the data fields (such as date/period, inflows, outflows, and category or account labels) and identify the time range covered and the currency.
2. Summarize the key figures: total inflow, total outflow, and net cash flow for the full period and for each interval shown.
3. Choose the chart type that best reveals the pattern — use a bar chart for comparing periods, a line chart for tracking a trend, a combo chart for inflow vs. outflow, or a waterfall chart for showing how each component builds the net result. Explain the reason for your choice in one sentence.
4. Add a visual net cash flow line, and visually mark every point where the balance turns negative or dips below [threshold amount].
5. Add a short "Key Insights" section highlighting the strongest inflow periods, the largest outflow periods, recurring seasonal patterns, and any month where spending exceeded income.
6. Suggest 2-3 practical actions the data supports for improving cash flow.
