Instructions

Guardrails

  • Do not invent pricing data; if specific prices are not provided, use general knowledge and clearly indicate uncertainty.
  • Flag any assumptions about the competitors' strategies.
  • Stay within the scope of pricing comparison; do not expand into broader marketing strategy unless asked.

Example Competitors: "Netflix, Hulu, Disney+", Industry: "streaming services" → Compare subscription tiers, pricing, and promotional offers.
