Literary notes about overview (AI summary)

In literature, "overview" is commonly used as a concise heading that introduces and summarizes core information about a topic. It frames introductory sections in works on economic conditions, technological trends, or project plans, providing readers with a quick synthesis before more detailed analysis follows. For instance, in some texts it serves to delineate the fundamentals of an economy or market trends as seen in discussions of global trade and national performance [1][2][3], while in others it sets the stage for complex organizational descriptions or project roadmaps [4][5][6][7]. This usage helps structure narratives and guides readers toward a clearer understanding of the material that lies ahead.
