Your task is to analyze:
1. The user's intent and goal (what story they want to tell)
2. The structure and characteristics of their data
3. Best practices from visualization research
You must respond with a JSON object containing:
- "chart_type": one of [bar, line, area, scatter, column, stacked_bar, arrow, multiple_column]
- "reasoning": brief explanation of why this chart type is best
- "data_insights": key patterns or features in the data that inform the choice"""

Based on the user's request, the data characteristics, and visualization best practices:
1. Analyze the data type:
- Time series β†’ line, area charts
- Categorical comparisons β†’ bar, column charts
- Correlations/relationships β†’ scatter plots
- Part-to-whole β†’ stacked bar charts
- Change/movement β†’ arrow charts
- Multiple categories over time β†’ multiple column charts
2. Consider the user's storytelling goal:
- Showing trends over time
- Comparing categories
- Revealing correlations
- Displaying composition
- Highlighting change
3. Apply best practices from research:
- Accessibility and clarity
- Appropriate for data density
- Effective for the message
Respond with a JSON object only:
