Clarifying sports standings

I shouldn't make assertions about facts beyond my cutoff date, which is uncertain. Even with data from October 2024, I might not have the final standings. I should ask the user for the specific season or date to avoid any inaccuracies. It's necessary to provide two options: they could confirm if they want the final 2024 standings or if we can analyze the last completed season. I can offer a structured analysis template and an example if they confirm.Planning the analysis framework

I want to use concise bullet points and clarify the user's needs before providing a framework for the analysis. I'll specify metrics to analyze, like points, goal difference, attack/defense stats, home/away performance, form, and head-to-head records. I'll mention sample teams like Shanghai Port and Shandong Taishan but will avoid asserting their actual positions. It's essential to ask the user which season they'd like to focus on: 2023, 2024, or the current season. I’ll also mention that I can fetch live standings if permitted.
