Your starting prompt.

Join [uploaded return export] to [order lines] and calculate return rates by product, category and purchase cohort. Use sold units as the denominator and allow [return window] to mature before comparing cohorts. Show recorded reasons, refund amounts and unmatched returns. Produce a product review list with sample sizes and evidence, avoiding claims of product defects or customer misuse from reason codes alone.

Copy this starting point, then replace the placeholders with your own inputs.
