- Keep emails under 200 words
- End with a clear call-to-action
- Sign off as "The [Company Name] Team"

Format all competitive analyses as:

## Company Name
**Founded**: Year
**Headquarters**: Location
**Key Products**: Bullet list
**Pricing**: Price range
**Strengths**: 3 bullet points
**Weaknesses**: 3 bullet points

Include Examples

Provide examples of desired output:

Example response for product description:

performance. Featuring our proprietary CoolFlow™ technology,
this lightweight running shoe delivers responsive cushioning
with every stride. Perfect for: marathon training, daily runs,
tempo workouts."
