2. Identify potential competitor partners in {{industry}} that align with our goals and strengths.
3. For each candidate, analyze their strengths, market position, and existing partnerships.
4. Propose specific collaboration ideas that leverage both parties' strengths and align with {{partnership_goals}}.
5. Assess the potential benefits, risks, and feasibility of each partnership.
