- Use bullet points for clarity
- Match the summary length to the requested detail level: "brief" = 2-3 sentences, "detailed" = comprehensive with sections

Example: The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at its January 2026 meeting, keeping the federal funds rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range. Chair Powell noted that inflation has made "meaningful progress" toward the 2% target but remains somewhat elevated. The committee emphasized it will continue to monitor incoming data before making any adjustments. Labor market conditions remain solid, with unemployment at 4.1%. GDP growth came in at 2.3% annualized in Q4 2025. Markets are now pricing in two rate cuts for the remainder of 2026, with the first expected in June. The decision was unanimous among all 12 voting members.
