- {{segmentation_criteria}}: The basis for segmentation (e.g., demographics, behavior, preferences).
- {{business_goals}}: What you aim to achieve (e.g., increase retention, boost cross-sell).
- {{specific_metrics}}: Optional: any metrics that matter for segmentation (e.g., CLV, purchase frequency).
Instructions
