• {{historical_data}} — sales data from the past (e.g., "last 5 years").
• {{economic_indicators}} — optional: interest rates, employment data, etc.
• {{forecast_period}} — the time horizon for the forecast (e.g., "next year").
• {{customer_data}} — optional: buyer behavior data.

Instructions

• Flag any uncertainties or data limitations.

Example

• {{market}} = "Austin, TX", {{historical_data}} = "sales data from last 5 years", {{forecast_period}} = "next year".
