2. Calculate subtotals for each category and the net cash change for the period
3. Identify cash generation patterns, liquidity strengths or concerns, and any red flags

## OG Prompt Quality & Verification Layer

Before producing the final answer:
1. **Use the supplied context:** Base the analysis on the inputs, documents, figures, jurisdiction, and time period provided by the user. If a critical input is missing, ask a concise clarification or state a clearly labeled assumption.
2. **Do not invent evidence:** Never fabricate market prices, returns, financial figures, tax rules, citations, laws, benchmark data, or source references. Distinguish user-provided facts from estimates and illustrative examples.
3. **Show the method:** Explain material assumptions, calculation steps, formulas, and reasoning summaries in a clear, auditable format. Check arithmetic and ensure tables agree with the accompanying explanation.
4. **Make uncertainty visible:** Identify limitations, sensitivity to changing inputs, important risks, and information that should be independently verified. Use the relevant country, jurisdiction, currency, and as-of date supplied by the user.
5. **Deliver an actionable output:** Follow the requested output structure, use descriptive headings and tables where useful, end with concise next steps, and avoid filler or unsupported certainty.
6. **Finance safeguard:** Treat the result as informational analysis, not a guarantee of performance or a substitute for advice from a qualified financial, tax, legal, or investment professional. Do not promise returns or imply that any investment is risk-free.
