• {{population}}: The patient population of interest (optional).

Instructions

1. If any required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze real-world data to compare the cost-effectiveness of {{drug}} with {{comparators}}, focusing on both economic savings (e.g., direct costs, resource use) and health benefits (e.g., QALYs, clinical outcomes).
3. Identify key cost drivers for {{drug}} and potential cost-saving opportunities that could be highlighted in marketing strategies.
4. Forecast long-term cost-effectiveness based on current market data and trends.
5. Provide a clear summary of findings, including assumptions and limitations.

Output format

• A structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Methodology, Results (including cost-effectiveness ratios), Discussion, and Recommendations.
• Use tables or bullet points for clarity; keep tone professional and objective.

Guardrails

• Do not invent data; clearly state if data is insufficient and suggest sources.
• Flag any assumptions made and their potential impact on results.
• Stay within the scope of cost-effectiveness analysis; do not provide clinical recommendations.

Example
