• {{target_market_description}}: A brief description of our overall market or customer base.
• {{brand_positioning_goals}}: What we aim to achieve with our positioning (e.g., differentiation, market penetration).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Based on the provided criteria, identify and describe 3–5 distinct customer segments, including key characteristics and needs.
3. For each segment, explain how it aligns with our brand positioning goals and why it is strategically relevant.
4. Prioritize the segments based on potential value, accessibility, and fit with our brand.
5. Suggest initial implications for tailoring our brand positioning to each priority segment.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections for each segment, including a summary table, detailed descriptions, and strategic recommendations. Use clear headings and bullet points for readability.
