  • {{comparison_period}}: A previous period for comparison (e.g., last year, last quarter).
  • {{segmentation}}: Optional segmentation criteria (e.g., customer demographics, market segments).
  • {{business_goals}}: Revenue growth targets or strategic priorities.

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Analyze the revenue data to identify top contributors and trends.

  • Stay within the scope of revenue analysis; avoid unrelated financial advice.

Example

  • {{revenue_data}}: "Revenue by product line for 2023"
  • {{comparison_period}}: "2022"
