  • {{metrics}}: The key performance indicators or metrics to evaluate.
  • {{time_period}}: The timeframe for the analysis, if applicable.

Instructions —

  1. Analyze the provided systems or processes, focusing on the specified metrics.
  2. Compare their performance, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and notable differences.
  3. Identify areas for improvement and suggest optimization strategies based on the comparison.
  4. Recommend benchmarks for future comparisons to track progress.
  5. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.

Output format — Present a structured comparison with a summary table, key findings, and a list of recommended actions. Use clear, concise language. Include quantitative insights where possible.

Guardrails —
