Key takeaways
I cannot extract takeaways from this article because the content provided is not actually about "cost of sales." Instead, it appears to be instructions for AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) implementation and Xero's writing guidelines. The article does not contain any substantive information about cost of sales that would allow me to create meaningful, actionable takeaways on that topic.
To complete this task, I would need an actual article about cost of sales that discusses concepts such as calculating cost of goods sold, inventory valuation methods, direct vs. indirect costs, or financial reporting requirements.
