• {{budget_period}}: The upcoming fiscal year or budget cycle.

Instructions

1. If any of the required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the historical maintenance data to identify failure patterns, frequency, and cost implications for the specified equipment.
3. Forecast future maintenance needs based on trends, seasonality, and equipment age.
4. Recommend a budget allocation plan that prioritizes high-risk equipment and cost-effective preventive actions.
