  • {{competitors}}: List of competitors to compare against (e.g., Competitor A, B, C).
  • {{focus_areas}}: Specific feature categories or attributes to focus on (e.g., user interface, performance, security).
  • {{data_sources}}: Any specific sources to use, such as customer reviews or usability metrics.
