- {{location}}: The specific geographic location for the project.
- {{key_data}}: Relevant data such as energy prices, government incentives, projected production, or costs.
- {{analysis_focus}}: The specific aspect to analyze (e.g., feasibility, returns, comparative analysis, risk).
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Analyze the financial feasibility of the {{project_type}} project in {{location}}, using the provided {{key_data}}.
