• {{trend_focus}} — specific areas of interest (e.g., emerging technologies, consumer preferences, regulatory changes)
• {{timeframe}} — the period to consider (e.g., "next 12 months")

Instructions

1. If the industry is not specified, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Identify 5–7 key trends relevant to the industry and focus areas, considering the given timeframe.
3. For each trend, explain its current impact and potential future implications.
4. Assess which trends are most likely to affect the user's business and how.

• Stay within the scope of the requested focus areas and timeframe.
