- {{crisis_indicators}}: Specific keywords, phrases, or metrics that signal a potential crisis.
- {{analysis_goal}}: What you want to detect (e.g., negative sentiment spikes, product complaints, competitor issues).
- {{alert_preferences}}: How you want alerts delivered (e.g., daily summary, real-time notifications).
Instructions
