Conduct a SWOT Analysis

Goal

Deliver a clear, well-reasoned SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) of the chosen company or product and propose actionable strategic steps.

Inputs to gather

• Company or product name (establishes the subject of the analysis)
• Brief description and industry/market context (gives background for relevant factors)
• Primary competitors or benchmarks, if known (sharpens comparative insights)
• Geographic focus or target market, if any (influences opportunities and threats)
• Time horizon or strategic objectives, if relevant (frames recommendations)

Before doing any work, ask the user for these inputs in ONE message. Skip anything they already provided. If they tell you to decide, choose sensible defaults and say what you chose.

Workflow

1. Confirm receipt of all required inputs; clarify any ambiguities in a brief follow-up if needed.
2. Strengths: List and explain internal advantages of the company or product, citing evidence or logic tied to the provided context.
3. Weaknesses: Identify internal limitations or gaps that could hinder success, again grounding points in context.
4. Opportunities: Examine external trends, market gaps, or emerging demands the subject can exploit.
5. Threats: Analyze external risks—competitive, regulatory, technological, or macroeconomic—that could impair performance.
6. Synthesize the four quadrants into an overall assessment, highlighting how strengths can be leveraged to seize opportunities and mitigate threats, and how weaknesses should be addressed.
7. Recommend 3–6 strategic actions, prioritized and briefly justified.
8. Provide citations or references for any data points used, if available.

Output

A document containing:

1. A labeled SWOT table with bullet points under each quadrant.
2. A narrative summary (≈150–250 words) integrating the insights.
3. A numbered list of strategic recommendations with brief rationales.
