• {{competitors}}: List of key competitors for comparison.
• {{data_sources}}: Optional: specific sources like customer reviews, social media, or market research reports.
• {{target_market}}: Optional: the primary customer segments to focus on.

Instructions

1. If any required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the brand's positioning against the provided competitors, considering factors like value proposition, differentiation, and customer perception.
3. Use the data sources if provided; otherwise, base the analysis on general market knowledge and clearly state assumptions.
4. Identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) related to positioning.
5. Provide specific, actionable recommendations to improve positioning, including messaging and target segment adjustments.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Competitive Comparison, Customer Perception Insights, SWOT Analysis, and Recommendations. Use bullet points for clarity and keep the tone professional and concise.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific data; if data is not provided, state that the analysis is based on general knowledge and assumptions.
• Avoid making definitive claims about customer sentiment without data; use conditional language.
• Stay focused on brand positioning; do not expand into unrelated marketing tactics.
