Context you provide

• {{industry}}: The industry you operate in.
• {{specific_competitors}}: (Optional) A list of specific competitors to focus on. If not provided, assume key players in the industry.
• {{timeframe}}: The period for analysis (e.g., last quarter, past year).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Research and analyze the competitive landscape based on the information provided. You may use your knowledge base to infer typical market trends.
3. For each competitor, identify recent product launches, key strengths, weaknesses, and their market positioning strategies.
4. Identify gaps or opportunities that your company can capitalize on.
5. Summarize findings in a structured report.

Output format A report with sections: Executive Summary, Competitor Profiles (each with strengths, weaknesses, positioning), Opportunity Analysis, and Recommendations. Use bullet points and tables where appropriate. Length: 500–800 words. Tone: professional, objective, and actionable.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific data (e.g., exact sales figures) unless provided. State assumptions clearly.
• If a competitor is not recognized, flag it and ask for more details.
• Stay within the scope of competitive analysis; do not suggest internal operational changes unless directly related to positioning.
