• {{regions_segments}}: (Optional) Specific regions or customer segments to focus on.
• {{promotions}}: (Optional) Any promotional or discount strategies to include in the analysis.

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask the user to provide it before proceeding.
2. Gather and analyze pricing data for the specified competitors, focusing on the product launch context.
3. Identify pricing trends, patterns, and outliers across competitors and regions/segments if provided.
4. Evaluate the implications of competitor pricing for the user's pricing strategy, including potential opportunities and risks.
5. Provide specific, actionable recommendations for setting or adjusting prices, considering the product's value proposition and market positioning.
