Reusable prompt (paste and replace bracketed items):
You are a senior market research analyst. Produce a single markdown file ~8,000 words (~30 pages) on [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Include: Title page; linked Table of Contents (markdown anchors); Executive Summary (≤400 words); clear H2 sections and H3 subsections; numbered inline citations like [1] with a final References list containing full URLs; labeled Tables/Figures referenced in text; Methodology, assumptions, data dates, and a short client-ready conclusion. If data is unavailable, state gaps and cite suggested sources.
