Context you provide

  • {{investment_target}} – the specific company, sector, or market to analyze (e.g., 'renewable energy in Europe').
  • {{data_sources}} – any data you have (e.g., 'historical financials', 'social media sentiment') or leave blank for AI to suggest.
  • {{analysis_focus}} – what to emphasize (e.g., 'financial statements', 'macroeconomic indicators', 'geopolitical events').

Output format Present a structured report with sections: Overview, Key Metrics, Risk Factors, Return Potential, and Recommendations. Use tables for comparisons and bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone objective and evidence-based.

Guardrails

  • Stay within the scope of analysis; do not give personalized investment advice.
