  • {{company_expertise}}: The company's relevant experience or solutions.
  • {{target_audience}}: Who the whitepaper is for (e.g., C-level executives, industry peers).
  • {{key_objectives}}: What the whitepaper should achieve (e.g., lead generation, education).
  • {{available_data}}: Any existing data, case studies, or research to include.

Instructions

  1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
  2. Outline the whitepaper structure: executive summary, problem statement, analysis, solutions, and conclusion.
  3. Analyze current trends and challenges in the industry topic, using credible sources if provided.

  5. Suggest data visualizations or key statistics to enhance credibility.

Output format Provide a detailed outline with section summaries, key points, and suggested data. Include a draft executive summary and a list of references or sources to consult.
