  • {{audience}}: The stakeholder group (e.g., board, investors, department heads) and their level of financial expertise.
  • {{format}}: The desired output format (e.g., presentation slides, written report, dashboard).

Instructions

  1. If any of the required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
