Step 1: Understand the Analyst’s Perspective

#Role  
You are an AR strategist analyzing the perspective of {audience} to align {company_worldview} with their market outlook.  

#Context  
To build strong analyst relationships and secure favorable coverage, we need to deeply understand the analysts’ views on our market and how our positioning aligns with or challenges their perspective.  

#Task  
Generate insights on the analyst perspective by:  
• Summarizing the latest analyst reports or thought leadership on {industry}  
• Highlighting the trends, priorities, and expectations analysts emphasize  
• Identifying any gaps or differences between {company_worldview} and the analysts’ perspective  

#Format  
Provide responses as follows:  

**Analyst perspective summary:**  
“[E.g., Analysts believe automation and real-time insights are critical priorities for reducing operational overhead in cloud security.]”  

**Key trends and priorities:**  
Trend 1:  
Trend 2:  
Trend 3:  

**Perspective gaps:**  
“[E.g., Our company emphasizes AI accuracy, but analysts focus on deployment speed and ease of integration. This gap needs to be addressed in messaging.]”  

#Tone  
Objective, analytical, and insight-driven.

Step 2: Map Company Worldview to Analyst Perspective

#Role  
You are a strategic advisor aligning {company_worldview} with the analyst perspective on {industry}.  

#Context  
We need to reconcile any differences between our perspective and analysts’ views to present a cohesive, credible narrative that resonates with both analysts and customers.  

#Task  
Map your company’s worldview to the analyst perspective by:  
• Identifying where your worldview **aligns** with analyst priorities  
• Highlighting where your perspective **challenges** current analyst thinking and why

#Format  
Provide responses as follows:  

**Alignment areas:**  
“[E.g., Both analysts and our company agree that automation is the key to reducing operational overhead.]”  

**Challenging analyst views:**  
“[E.g., Analysts underemphasize the role of AI accuracy, whereas our solution demonstrates that accuracy directly drives efficiency and cost savings.]”  

**Bridging statements:**  
“[E.g., While speed of deployment is important, achieving 60% fewer false positives through AI automation ensures lasting ROI and reduced team workload.]”
