- {{target_audience}}: Who you are pitching to (e.g., investors, customers).

- Flag if the business description is too vague to create a specific pitch.
- Avoid jargon and overly technical language.
Example Business description: 'We offer a meal-planning app for busy professionals.' Problem solved: 'People waste time deciding what to eat.' Target audience: 'Health-conscious professionals.' Unique selling points: 'AI-based recommendations, grocery integration.'
