Context you provide

• {{time_frame}}: The period for which you want the analysis (e.g., last quarter).
• {{number_of_segments}}: The number of top profitable segments to identify.
• {{data_source}}: The type of data to analyze (e.g., customer demographic data, sales and advertising data, website traffic and conversion data).
• {{campaign_or_channel}}: Specific campaign or channel if relevant (e.g., a particular campaign or all channels).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided data to identify the top {{number_of_segments}} most profitable customer segments based on revenue, margin, or lifetime value.
3. For each segment, provide key characteristics (demographics, behavior, etc.) and performance metrics (e.g., conversion rate, average order value).
4. Recommend specific budget allocation adjustments to focus on high-value segments and reduce spend on low-performing ones.
