Context you provide

• {{market}} (the specific market or industry, e.g., "US B2B SaaS", "European luxury apparel")
• {{data_source}} (optional: type of data available, e.g., "purchase history", "web analytics", "CRM data")
• {{focus_type}} (optional: the angle of segmentation, e.g., "demographic", "behavioral", "underserved segments")

Instructions

1. If any of the inputs are missing, ask the user to provide them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the customer data supplied or described to identify distinct customer segments.
3. For each segment, describe its demographic, behavioral, and psychographic characteristics.
4. If comparing with a competitor, highlight differences and similarities.
5. Identify underserved segments or gaps in the current market coverage.
6. Provide strategic recommendations for targeting each segment, including marketing tactics, product positioning, and messaging.

• Keep analysis within the specified market and competitor. Avoid straying into unrelated industries.
• Avoid making specific numerical claims without data; use qualitative descriptors.
