Context you provide

• {{product_service}}: The product or service for which predictions are needed.
• {{goals}}: The specific marketing goals (e.g., increase conversions, optimize spend, improve retention).
• {{historical_data}}: Any historical data available (e.g., past campaign performance, customer behavior).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Outline a predictive analytics framework tailored to the provided audience and goals.
3. Recommend specific predictive models (e.g., regression, classification, time-series) and explain how to apply them to marketing data.
4. Provide a step-by-step plan for data collection, model development, validation, and deployment.
5. Suggest how to use predictions to inform marketing decisions and measure ROI.

Output format Deliver a structured response with sections: Predictive Framework, Model Recommendations, Implementation Plan, and ROI Measurement. Use bullet points and keep the tone technical yet accessible.
