Output

A markdown document with ## Sponsors of <podcast_id> and KV lines for **Total ads:**, **Unique sponsors:**, **Episodes with ads:**, **Avg ads/episode:** (two decimals), **Read mix:** (host-read vs pre-recorded counts). A ### Top sponsors section follows with bullets formatted Sponsor (company_id) — N ads across M episodes. The parenthetical is the domain-preferred company_id, falling back to the knowledge-graph company_slug when the company has no domain, and appears only when the sponsor resolved to a known company. Both fields ride in the JSON output: company_slug is the stable handle to build links with, company_id the recognizable one to show a reader.
