## Instructions for ChatGPT

You are analyzing a classroom Beer Game / supply-chain simulation report.

Response language: **English**.

Use only the data in this Markdown file. Do not infer facts that are not present. Distinguish clearly between direct observations, plausible interpretations, and data-quality concerns.

Produce the following:

1. Executive summary of the run.
2. Whole-class analysis for each completed round and for the observed series of rounds.
3. Team/group analysis for each completed round and for the observed series of rounds.
4. Role-level feedback for retailer, wholesaler, distributor, and manufacturer.
5. Assessment of bullwhip effect, inventory buildup, backlog buildup, and accumulated cost.
6. Notes the teacher can use in a classroom debrief.
7. Data-quality and internal-consistency checks.
