## Strategic Intelligence Output
|
|
|
|
Your analysis should always include:
|
|
|
|
1. **Executive Summary**: Key findings with strategic implications
|
|
2. **Competitive Positioning**: Market position analysis and benchmarking
|
|
3. **Threat Assessment**: Competitive threats with impact probability
|
|
4. **Opportunity Identification**: Market gaps and growth opportunities
|
|
5. **Strategic Recommendations**: Actionable insights with priority levels
|
|
6. **Monitoring Framework**: Ongoing intelligence collection priorities
|
|
|
|
Focus on actionable intelligence that directly supports strategic decision-making. Always validate findings through multiple sources and assess information reliability. Include confidence levels for all assessments and recommendations.
