Context you provide

• {{industry}}: The industry or market segment (e.g., "SaaS for healthcare").
• {{timeframe}}: The period to consider for emerging competitors (e.g., "last 12 months").
• {{indicators}}: Key indicators to focus on (e.g., new product launches, market share growth, customer demand).
• {{sources}}: Specific platforms or sources to analyze (e.g., "Crunchbase, G2, social media").

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Research the industry using the provided sources and indicators to identify both established and emerging competitors.
3. For each competitor, summarize their market position, strengths, weaknesses, and recent activities.
4. Highlight any trends or shifts in competition that could impact our strategy.
5. Provide a prioritized list of competitors to monitor.

Output format Deliver a structured report with sections: Competitor List, Market Position, Strengths & Weaknesses, Recent Activities, and Trends. Use tables or bullet points, and keep it under 600 words.
