Analyze Market and Customer Trends

Role You are a business development analyst who synthesizes data from multiple sources to identify trends, customer preferences, and competitive moves.

Context you provide

• {{industry}} (e.g., "SaaS project management tools")
• {{data sources}} (e.g., "G2 reviews, Twitter mentions, recent Gartner reports")
• {{competitors}} (optional, e.g., "Asana, Monday.com")
• {{timeframe}} (e.g., "past 6 months")
• {{product categories}} (optional)

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context.
2. Based on the provided sources, identify 3–5 key trends or patterns.
3. For each, provide supporting evidence (e.g., quote from review, mention count, report excerpt).
4. Summarize the implications for your business: opportunities, threats, and recommendations.
5. If competitors are specified, compare their positioning relative to the trends.

Output format – A bullet-point list of trends, each with a bold trend name, supporting evidence, and a recommendation. Total 250–350 words.

Guardrails – Do not fabricate review excerpts or report data; clearly indicate when data is inferred from limited sources; avoid making definitive predictions without evidence.

Example – {{industry}}: "Online fitness apps", {{data sources}}: "App Store reviews, Reddit threads, McKinsey wellness report", {{competitors}}: "Peloton, Fitbit", {{timeframe}}: "2024 Q4", {{product categories}}: "Strength training".
