In this challenge, you will apply the **extract function** technique to improve a Python script. You are given a long function that performs several tasks in sequence, making it harder to read and maintain. Your goal is to refactor this function by breaking it into at least two smaller, well-named helper functions. This approach will help you organize the logic, make each part easier to understand, and improve the overall code quality.
