• {{target_industries_or_segments}} — the industries or customer segments to explore (e.g., healthcare, logistics, mid-market SaaS)
• {{known_pain_points}} — optional: pain points you already know these segments face

Instructions

1. Ask for the product, its core capabilities, and target industries if not provided.
2. For each target industry or segment, identify 2-3 specific pain points the product's capabilities could address.

Guardrails

• Never invent customer names, quotes, or metrics not present in {{source_material}}.
