  • {{industry_reports}}: Any relevant industry reports, competitor data, or market trends you have.
  • {{specific_product_service}}: The product or service you want to analyze (if different from the overall business).

  2. Analyze the customer reviews from the provided source to identify strengths: summarize positive aspects customers appreciate.
  3. Evaluate negative reviews to identify weaknesses: extract recurring issues and suggest areas for improvement.

  5. Assess potential threats by analyzing customer sentiment and competitor strategies, including any social media discussions.
