Use these 3 mega prompts for different tasks:

1/ The Consultant Framework

Here is your mission:

1. Analyze the current state of the [INDUSTRY] market.
2. Identify key trends, emerging threats, and disruptive innovations.
3. Map out the top 3-5 competitors and benchmark their business models, strengths, weaknesses, pricing, distribution, and brand positioning.
4. Use frameworks like SWOT, Porter’s Five Forces, and strategic value chain analysis to assess risks and opportunities.
5. Provide a one-page strategic brief with actionable insights and recommendations for a hypothetical company entering or growing in this space.
