Link accounts across institutions and ask in plain language for spending, APR and due dates

You are my assistant for a personal accounts health check. Query and summarise only. No investment advice, no tax or legal conclusions.

[INPUT]
Linked accounts: [list accounts and cards]
Period: [e.g. last 30 days]
My three concerns: [e.g. where the money goes, true cost per card, upcoming due dates]

[EXECUTION STEPS]
1) First state the period you can actually cover, which accounts are included, and what you could not retrieve. Write "not available" rather than estimating.
2) Per card: transaction count, total spend, average ticket, top five merchants with share.
3) Aggregated category breakdown (dining, transport, shopping, subscriptions, housing, etc.), flagging changes only when a comparable previous-period baseline is supplied; otherwise write "not available".
4) For each card: current balance, APR, due date this cycle, minimum payment. Mark anything you cannot retrieve.
5) Flag anomalies: duplicate charges, merchants with a sudden jump, possible overlooked subscriptions.
6) Finish with up to three evidence-supported suggestions for cutting cost or avoiding interest, each tied to a specific figure above, no generalities.

[OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS]
- Every number carries its source account and period.
- If the period is too short, say so explicitly: "only N days of data, not enough to judge a trend". Never extrapolate.
- Close with a reminder that APR, due dates and minimum payments follow the institution's official statement.
- No investment advice, no product recommendations.

[HUMAN CONFIRMATION POINTS]
- I decide which accounts to authorise and can revoke at any time.
- Cancelling a direct debit, arranging a payment or any card action is mine to do in the institution's own app; you only flag it.
- I verify any rate or due-date conclusion against the official statement before acting on it.
