Your two output files will contain one table for each of the organizations you obtained lifecycle information for. Each of them will have the following columns:

1. Product: SKU that was detected to have an EoS announcement
2. Announcement: Date on which Cisco Meraki published the EoS document
3. End-of-Sale Date: Date after which the equipment will no longer be sold to customers
4. End-of-Support Date: Date after which the equipment will no longer be supported by Cisco Meraki Support
5. Upgrade Path: Link to the End of Sales announcement with suggested replacement SKUs
6. Total Units: Count of total units in use of the specified SKU in the organization. Units not bound to any networks are assumed to not be in use and are not included in this count. Additionally, the table is ordered in descending order by this metric.
