Context you provide

  • {{segmentation_goal}}: What you aim to achieve (e.g., identify top product categories per segment, tailor recommendations).
  • {{data_format}}: The format of the data (e.g., CSV, database) if relevant.

Instructions

  • Flag any assumptions about the data or customer behavior.
  • Stay within the scope of preference segmentation and avoid unrelated recommendations.
