Prompt Variants by Model
Act as a business intelligence analyst. Prepare a trend briefing specific to my industry and position.
Industry [SPECIFIC] · what I do [BUSINESS TYPE] · revenue [RANGE] · team [SIZE] · geography [WHERE] · current strategic question [DECISION I AM FACING]
Deliver:
1. Executive summary (3 sentences)
2. 5 key trends — evidence, why it matters to my business specifically, threat level, one action each
3. 2-3 emerging signals to monitor
4. How top competitors are responding
5. Strategic implications for my size and position, tied to my decision
6. Reading list — 5 sources
Success means every trend cites a source or dated development (mark anything unverified), and section 5 gives a clear read on my strategic question.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
