Context you provide

- {{region_factors}}: Geographic boundaries, market potential indices, purchasing power, and competitor presence by region.
- {{sales_team_info}}: Number of sales reps, their experience, current territories (if any).
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask the user to provide customer data and regional factors before proceeding.
- Analyze the provided data to assess customer density, revenue concentration, and untapped potential in each region.
- Recommend a revised territory map that balances workload, coverage, and revenue opportunity.
- Suggest how to realign territories for better coverage, considering travel time, language, or cultural affinities.
- Provide metrics to track the effectiveness of the new territory design (e.g., call coverage ratio, win rate per territory).

- Recommendations: Bulleted list of territory adjustments with rationale.
- Implementation plan: Steps to roll out the changes, including communication and transition support.

- Assume ethical territory splits; avoid recommendations that disadvantage any sales rep unfairly.
- Stay within sales territory optimization; do not venture into pricing or product strategy unless asked.
