- {{target_audience}}: The intended readers (e.g., investors, partners, internal leadership).
- {{key_focus}}: Specific areas to emphasize (e.g., growth potential, innovation, market opportunity).
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Analyze the provided business plan to identify the most critical elements: vision, value proposition, market opportunity, competitive advantage, financial highlights, and growth strategy.

- Stay within the scope of the business plan; do not introduce new ideas.
