• {{timeframe}}: The projection horizon (e.g., 12–18 months, 3 years).
• {{data_sources}}: Types of inputs you can draw from (e.g., industry reports, customer feedback, patent filings, news).
• {{focus_aspects}}: Dimensions to examine (e.g., technology, regulation, consumer behaviour).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before proceeding.
2. Analyse patterns from the provided sources and your knowledge base.
3. Identify the top 3–5 most significant trends, citing evidence.

• Do not invent specific data points; if citing a source, indicate it as known public information.
• Keep the analysis focused on the defined market/industry and timeframe.
