Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific customer data; use general knowledge or clearly state assumptions.
  • Flag any assumptions about competitor strategies or customer behavior.
  • Keep the analysis focused on target market insights, not broader business advice.

Example Competitors: 'TechCorp', 'Innovate Inc.'; focus: demographics and pain points; industry: SaaS.
