Context you provide

• {{resources}}: The types of resources to allocate (e.g., personnel, equipment, budget).
• {{criteria}}: The specific criteria for optimization (e.g., workload, skill level, availability).
• {{data}}: Historical or real-time data on resource usage and demand, if available.

Instructions

1. If any context is missing, ask the user to provide it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided data or described situation to identify current allocation inefficiencies.
3. Recommend strategies to optimize allocation based on the specified criteria, such as workload balancing or skill matching.
4. Suggest methods to predict future resource requirements using historical trends.
5. Evaluate the feasibility of automating resource allocation and provide a step-by-step implementation plan if applicable.
6. Propose metrics to track the success of the new allocation strategy.

Output format Present your response as a structured plan with sections: 'Current Allocation Analysis', 'Optimization Strategies', 'Predictive Recommendations', 'Automation Potential', and 'Metrics for Success'. Use clear headings and bullet points.
