- {{location}}: The specific location of the project.
- {{cost_data}}: (Optional) Known construction costs, land costs, and other expenses.
- {{market_data}}: (Optional) Market demand indicators, such as population growth, employment rates, or rental demand.
- {{revenue_streams}}: (Optional) Expected income sources (e.g., sales, rentals, leases).
Instructions
- If any required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Analyze construction costs and other capital expenditures, breaking down major components.
- Assess market demand for the project type in the given location, using available data or reasonable assumptions.
