1. window dressing

   Window dressing is a business strategy that involves improving the appearance of a company's financial statements or performance indicators to present a more positive or favorable view to investors, shareholders, and the public, usually done right before a reporting period ends. It may include changes to inventory levels, debt management, or shifting investments, often done within legal boundaries but could be misleading. In other contexts, window dressing also refers to the visual merchandising displays in retail stores aimed at attracting customers.
