<CONTEXT>
Event registration data often comes from multiple sources with varying formats:
- Online registration platforms ([REGISTRATION_PLATFORM])

Example #1: Processing Mixed-Source Registration Data

Input:
```
- CSV export from Eventbrite with 120 registrations
- Excel spreadsheet with 15 VIP registrations added manually
- Google Form responses with 8 last-minute registrations
- Request to identify incomplete registrations and payment issues
```

Thoughts:
First, I need to analyze the structure of each data source and identify common fields. The Eventbrite export likely has complete information in a standard format, while the manual entries might have inconsistencies. I'll standardize all contact information, categorize registrants, and pay special attention to payment reconciliation across sources.

Output:
```
1. DATA OVERVIEW
   - Registration sources: Eventbrite (120), Manual VIP entries (15), Google Form (8)
   - Total registrant count: 143 (112 General, 15 VIP, 10 Staff, 6 Speakers)
   - Completion rate: 94% (9 registrations missing required information)
   - Data quality: Medium (inconsistencies in manual entries)

2. STANDARDIZED REGISTRATION DATA
   [Table with properly formatted registrant information organized by registration type]

3. SPECIAL ATTENTION ITEMS
   - 9 incomplete registrations requiring follow-up:
     * 3 missing phone numbers (IDs: 2045, 2067, 2089)
     * 4 missing meal selections (IDs: 2013, 2028, 2056, 2104)
     * 2 with potentially incorrect email addresses (IDs: 2072, 2118)
   - 2 potential duplicate registrations:
     * Sarah Johnson (IDs: 2034 and 2112) - different email addresses
     * Miguel Rodriguez (IDs: 2078 and 2125) - different phone numbers
   - Payment discrepancies:
     * 5 registrants marked as paid in Eventbrite but not in accounting system
     * 3 partial payments requiring balance collection
   - Special accommodations:
     * 7 dietary restrictions (4 vegetarian, 2 gluten-free, 1 kosher)
     * 2 accessibility requirements (1 wheelchair access, 1 hearing assistance)

4. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
   - Total expected revenue: $12,450
   - Payment status: 128 Paid in Full, 7 Partial Payment, 8 Unpaid
   - Discount code usage: 15 registrations used discount codes (total discount: $750)
   - Outstanding balance: $1,275

5. SYSTEM INTEGRATION NOTES
   - Google Form responses missing "Referral Source" field required by CRM
   - Manual VIP entries need "Registration Date" field added
   - Suggested custom field mapping for "Special Requests" to "Accommodation Notes"

6. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
   - Contact 9 registrants with incomplete information (draft email template provided)
   - Verify duplicate registrations by phone
   - Reconcile payment discrepancies with accounting by 5/15
   - Add missing fields before CRM import
   - Consider adding required fields to Google Form for future events
```

Example #2: Processing Workshop Registration Data with Multiple Sessions

Input:
```
- Registration data for a 3-day workshop with 6 concurrent session tracks
- 85 total registrants with varying session selections
- Need to identify session capacities and potential conflicts
- Several accessibility and dietary accommodation requests
```

Thoughts:
This requires not just standardizing contact information but also analyzing session selections to identify potential capacity issues or scheduling conflicts. I'll need to organize registrants by session and flag any who have selected conflicting sessions.

Output:
```
1. DATA OVERVIEW
   - Registration source: Workshop registration platform
   - Total registrant count: 85 (72 Participants, 8 Presenters, 5 Staff)
   - Session selection completion: 91% (8 registrants missing session selections)
   - Data quality: High (standardized platform data)

2. STANDARDIZED REGISTRATION DATA
   [Table with properly formatted registrant information organized by registration type]

3. SPECIAL ATTENTION ITEMS
   - 8 registrants missing session selections (IDs: 3012, 3025, 3041, 3052, 3067, 3073, 3078, 3084)
   - Session capacity concerns:
     * "Grant Writing 101" (Tuesday 10am): 28 registrants for 25-person room
     * "Board Development" (Wednesday 2pm): 26 registrants for 25-person room
   - 3 registrants with conflicting session selections:
     * ID 3034: Selected two concurrent sessions on Tuesday at 1pm
     * ID 3056: Selected two concurrent sessions on Wednesday at 10am
     * ID 3071: Selected two concurrent sessions on Wednesday at 3pm
   - Accommodation needs:
     * 12 dietary restrictions (detailed breakdown in section 4)
     * 3 accessibility requirements (1 ASL interpreter, 2 mobility accommodations)

4. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
   - Total expected revenue: $8,500
   - Payment status: 79 Paid in Full, 2 Partial Payment, 4 Unpaid
   - Scholarship usage: 6 registrants (total value: $600)
   - Outstanding balance: $675

5. SYSTEM INTEGRATION NOTES
   - Session selection data needs custom mapping to CRM
   - Accommodation fields should be mapped to "Special Requirements" in CRM
   - Create session-specific tags for follow-up communications

6. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
   - Contact registrants with missing session selections
   - Resolve over-capacity sessions (options: move to larger room, cap registration, add session)
   - Contact registrants with conflicting sessions to confirm preferences
   - Confirm special accommodation arrangements with venue
   - Generate session-specific attendance lists for check-in
```
