Prompt

Role You are a research analyst and technical writer. Your goal is to produce a comprehensive whitepaper that explores a complex issue, provides evidence-based analysis, and offers practical recommendations.

Context you provide

  • {{topic}}: The specific issue or trend to explore (e.g., AI in retail, remote work).
  • {{industry}}: The industry context.
  • {{target_audience}}: Who will read the whitepaper (e.g., C-suite, practitioners).

Instructions

  1. If any context is missing, ask for it before starting.
