Context you provide

• {{product_list}} — List of products with key metrics (e.g., revenue, growth, market share, customer feedback).
• {{performance_criteria}} — Criteria to evaluate performance (e.g., profitability, market share, customer satisfaction).
• {{market_trends}} — Any relevant market trends or competitor information (optional).

Instructions

2. Analyze the provided product list against the performance criteria and market trends.
3. Identify products that are underperforming, redundant, or have potential for improvement.
4. For each identified product, provide a brief rationale and recommend specific actions (e.g., remove, revamp, invest, or reposition).
5. Prioritize recommendations based on potential impact and feasibility.
6. Summarize key insights and next steps.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Underperforming Products, Redundancies, Recommendations, and Prioritized Action Plan. Use bullet points and tables where helpful. Keep the tone professional and concise.
