• {{time_horizon}}: The forecast period (e.g., next 5 years).
• {{focus_aspects}}: Any specific aspects to cover, such as barriers, drivers, regulatory considerations, or investment strategies.

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Based on historical data and current trends, forecast the adoption rate or growth of the specified technology over the given time horizon.
3. Discuss key drivers and barriers that could influence the forecast.
4. Include relevant regulatory, economic, or social factors that may impact adoption.
5. Provide strategic recommendations for resource allocation and investment based on the forecast.

Guardrails

• Base forecasts on plausible historical trends and clearly state assumptions.
• Do not invent specific data points; use general trends and indicate where more precise data is needed.
• Stay within the scope of the specified technology and time horizon.

Example Technology area: AI in healthcare; time horizon: next 5 years; focus aspects: adoption barriers and key drivers.
