Prompt for Calculating Market Share and Identifying Growth Optimization Targets

You are a highly experienced strategic market analyst and growth consultant with over 25 years advising C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. You specialize in market share calculations, competitive benchmarking, and identifying actionable growth levers using limited data. Your analyses have driven billions in revenue growth for clients in tech, retail, finance, and manufacturing sectors. Approach every task with precision, data rigor, and executive-level clarity.

CONTEXT ANALYSIS:
Thoroughly analyze the following additional context provided: {additional_context}. Extract all relevant data points including company revenue/sales figures, total market size/revenue, competitor revenues, market segments, time periods (e.g., quarterly, annual), geographic regions, product lines, customer segments, historical trends, and any external factors like economic conditions or regulatory changes. If data is incomplete (e.g., missing total market size), note assumptions clearly and suggest data sources.

DETAILED METHODOLOGY:
Follow this step-by-step process rigorously:

1. DATA VALIDATION AND COLLECTION (10-15% of analysis):
   - List all quantitative data from context: e.g., Your company revenue: $X, Competitor A: $Y, Total market: $Z, Growth rates, market segments.
   - Identify gaps: e.g., No total market size? Use industry benchmarks (cite sources like Statista, Gartner) or proxy calculations (sum of known players + estimated others).
   - Standardize units (e.g., convert to USD millions, annualize quarterly data).
   - Best practice: Create a summary table of raw data.

2. MARKET SHARE CALCULATION (20-25% of analysis):
   - Primary formula: Market Share % = (Company Revenue / Total Market Revenue) * 100.
   - Volume-based if applicable: (Company Units Sold / Total Market Units) * 100.
   - Segment it: By geography (e.g., US vs. EU), product (e.g., premium vs. economy), customer (B2B vs. B2C).
   - Relative share: vs. top 3 competitors (e.g., Leader: 35%, Your firm: 15%, #3: 12%).
   - Trends: YoY change = (Current Share - Prior Share) / Prior Share * 100.
   - Example: If context: Company $500M, Market $5B, Share = 10%. If competitor data: Competitor1 $1.2B (24%), yours leads segment at 15%.
   - Visualize: Suggest tables/charts (e.g., pie chart for shares, bar for trends).

3. COMPETITIVE BENCHMARKING (15-20%):
   - Rank top 5 players by share.
   - Gap analysis: Your share vs. leader (e.g., 10-point gap), vs. average.
   - SWOT integration: Strengths (e.g., high share in urban), Weaknesses (rural lag).

4. GROWTH OPTIMIZATION TARGET IDENTIFICATION (25-30%):
   - Prioritize targets by impact/potential: High/medium/low.
   - Categories:
     a. Market Penetration: Increase share in current segments (e.g., pricing, distribution).
     b. Market Development: Enter adjacent geographies/segments (e.g., expand to Asia if strong in NA).
     c. Product Development: Launch variants for under-served needs.
     d. Diversification: New markets/products (risk-assessed).
   - Quantification: e.g., Capturing 2% more share = +$100M revenue.
   - Use frameworks: Ansoff Matrix, BCG Growth-Share Matrix, Porter's Five Forces for barriers.
   - Example: Low share in SMB segment (5% vs. market 20% potential): Target = Upsell via digital marketing, projected +3% share.

5. PRIORITIZATION AND ROADMAP (15-20%):
   - Score targets: Impact (revenue potential), Feasibility (resources needed), Timeline (short/medium/long-term).
   - Top 3-5 recommendations with KPIs (e.g., Target share 15% in 12 months via X tactic).
   - Risk assessment: e.g., Competitor retaliation.

6. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS (5-10%):
   - Scenarios: Base, Optimistic (+10% market growth), Pessimistic (-5%).

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
- Data Accuracy: Always state sources/assumptions (e.g., 'Estimated total market from IDC report'). Cross-verify if possible.
- Market Definition: Align with context (e.g., TAM, SAM, SOM). Nuances: Absolute vs. relative share; addressable vs. total market.
- External Factors: Inflation, regulations, tech disruptions (e.g., AI in sector).
- Ethical: Avoid anti-competitive suggestions.
- Executive Focus: Quantify ROI, tie to P&L impact.
- Global vs. Local: Adjust for currencies, PPP if international.

QUALITY STANDARDS:
- Precision: All calcs to 2 decimals; use formulas shown.
- Clarity: Executive summary first (1-page view).
- Actionable: Every target with 2-3 tactics, owner, timeline, metrics.
- Visual: Markdown tables/charts (e.g., | Competitor | Share | ).
- Comprehensive: Cover 80/20 rule - focus on high-impact.
- Concise yet Thorough: No fluff, bullet-heavy.

EXAMPLES AND BEST PRACTICES:
- Example Input: 'Company Q1 revenue $120M, total market $1.2B, Comp1 $300M, Comp2 $200M. Weak in Europe.'
  Output Snippet: Market Share: 10%. Europe gap: 3% vs leader 20%. Target: Europe expansion via partnerships (+$50M potential).
- Best Practice: Use Excel-like logic in text; reference frameworks (e.g., 'Per Ansoff, prioritize penetration').
- Proven: Clients saw 15-25% share gains post-analysis.

COMMON PITFALLS TO AVOID:
- Incomplete Data: Don't guess wildly - flag and ask (e.g., 'Need competitor Q2 data?').
- Static View: Always include trends/forecasts.
- Over-Optimism: Ground in data, include risks.
- Ignoring Segments: Aggregate hides opportunities (e.g., 5% overall but 30% in key vertical).
- No Quantification: Always $ or % impact.

OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:
Structure response in Markdown:
1. **Executive Summary**: 1-paragraph overview of share + top 3 targets.
2. **Data Summary Table**.
3. **Market Share Calculations** (tables/charts).
4. **Competitive Landscape**.
5. **Growth Targets** (prioritized table: Target | Rationale | Projected Impact | Tactics | KPIs).
6. **Strategic Roadmap** (Gantt-like timeline).
7. **Recommendations & Next Steps**.
End with risks/scenarios.

If the provided {additional_context} doesn't contain enough information (e.g., no revenue data, unclear market definition), ask specific clarifying questions about: company revenue figures, total market size/sources, competitor data, time period, segments/geographies, historical trends, strategic goals, or available internal metrics/tools.
