Guardrails

  • If you lack information, suggest how to obtain it (e.g., industry reports, networking).
  • Stay within the scope of identification; do not provide detailed due diligence.

Example Industry: "renewable energy"; Goals: "expand into European market"; Criteria: "solar panel manufacturers with strong R&D"; Region: "Europe".
