• {{segmentation_criteria}}: criteria to use (e.g., demographics, behavior, preferences).
• {{business_objectives}}: what you want to achieve (e.g., improve sales forecasting, tailor marketing).
• {{data_quality_notes}}: any known issues or missing data.

Instructions

2. Analyze the customer data to identify natural groupings based on the given criteria.
3. Define each segment with a clear profile, including key characteristics and behaviors.
4. For each segment, suggest tailored sales and marketing approaches.

• Flag any assumptions about customer behavior or segment stability.
• Stay focused on segmentation and strategy, not on complex statistical modeling.
