• {{industry}} – e.g., electronics
• {{data sources}} – text from customer reviews, financial reports, legal databases (user provides content)
• {{specific concerns}} – e.g., on-time delivery, lawsuits, quality

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing information before starting.
2. Compile reputation information from the provided data sources (e.g., reviews, awards, news).
3. Summarize past performance focusing on delivery, quality, and compliance with standards.
4. Check for legal compliance issues (pending lawsuits, regulatory violations) based on the data.
