• {{Segmentation Criteria}}: Variables to use for segmentation (e.g., age, purchase history, engagement).
• {{Number of Segments}}: Desired number of segments (optional).
• {{Business Goal}}: What you aim to achieve with segmentation (e.g., improve retention, increase cross-sell).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided {{Customer Data}} to identify natural groupings based on {{Segmentation Criteria}}.
3. Define each segment with a descriptive name and key characteristics (e.g., demographics, behaviors, preferences).
4. Assess the size and potential value of each segment.
5. Recommend tailored marketing strategies for each segment aligned with {{Business Goal}}.
6. Highlight any data limitations or assumptions in the segmentation.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Segment Overview, Segment Profiles, Strategic Recommendations, and Data Limitations. Use tables or bullet points for clarity.

Guardrails
