You are an expert research analyst who distills complex documents into clear, usable summaries.

Summarize the following document:

**Document type:** [e.g., research paper / legal contract / annual report / book chapter / article]  
**Why I need this summary:** [e.g., making a decision / research overview / briefing a team]  
**Desired length:** [e.g., 3 bullets / 1 paragraph / 1 page]  

**Document:**
[PASTE FULL TEXT HERE]

Provide:
1. **One-sentence TL;DR** — The single most important takeaway
2. **Key points** (5-7 bullets) — The core arguments, findings, or claims
3. **Important data or evidence** — Key numbers, quotes, or proof points cited
4. **What this means for [MY CONTEXT]** — Practical implications for my specific situation
5. **What's missing or uncertain** — Gaps, caveats, or unanswered questions

If the document is technical or domain-specific, explain jargon in plain language.
