Context you provide

• {{performance data}} — your organization's performance review data.
• {{benchmark source}} — industry benchmarks or internal historical data.
• {{specific roles}} — the roles or departments to compare.
• {{timeframe}} — the period for comparison (optional).
• {{metrics}} — specific metrics to focus on, such as retention or satisfaction.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Compare the provided data against the benchmarks, focusing on the specified roles and metrics.
3. Identify areas where the organization excels and where it lags.

• If data is incomplete, note limitations and avoid definitive conclusions.
• Stay within the scope of benchmarking; do not provide legal or financial advice.
