2. **Present insights:** The tool returns:

• Total number of entries
• Date range (first to last entry)
• Number of projects tracked
• Entries per project breakdown

3. **Add interpretation:**

• Highlight most active projects
• Show how long they've been journaling
• Suggest actions based on stats
