Market Trend Brief

A grounded market-trend brief — what's adopting, what's declining, where intent and reviews agree the market is heading — for the next launch or analyst conversation.

Where the market's heading — when adoption, intent, and reviews agree

3
Signals triangulated
Agreement = confidence
Adoption up, intent up, reviews want
'unified.' The trend is consolidation.

Why it lands
One signal is an anecdote. When adoption is consolidating, intent is rising on 'unified,' and reviews say buyers want fewer tools — three independent signals agree, and the consolidation trend is something you can take to an analyst with confidence.

Overview

Produce a market-trend brief for a category combining adoption footprint (aggregate across a peer cohort) (technographic time series), demand signals (intent), and buyer sentiment (reviews) — triangulating where the market is genuinely heading so PMM can ground a launch narrative or analyst conversation in data.

Use cases

  • Launch narratives that hold up

    A launch story grounded in three agreeing signals — adoption, intent, sentiment — survives the skeptical questions a single data point invites.

  • Analyst conversations with evidence

    Walking into an analyst briefing with a triangulated trend read, each signal cited, positions PMM as the team that understands the market — not just its own product.

# Market Trend Brief

## Parameters

- `{{category}}` *(required)* — The category/market to brief. Example: `data observability`
- `{{audience}}` *(optional)* — Who the brief is for (shapes the framing). Example: `analyst briefing`

## Purpose
Produce a market-trend brief on the {{category}} for the {{audience}}, triangulating adoption footprint (aggregate across a peer cohort), demand intent, and buyer sentiment — so the launch or analyst narrative is grounded in three independent signals agreeing, not one anecdote.

## Process
1. **Adoption trajectory** — `company_technographic` for the category's key technologies; is the market growing, consolidating, or fragmenting?
2. **Demand signal** — `list_intent_topics` + `intent_category` for the category's intent volume and trend.
3. **Buyer sentiment** — `get_product_reviews` for the recurring themes (what buyers increasingly want or reject).
4. **Triangulate** — where the three signals agree is the high-confidence trend; where they diverge, note the tension.
5. **Brief** — write a tight, exec-grade trend narrative with the implication for our positioning, labeling modeled vs. observed signals.

## Output Format
Markdown with:
- `# Market Trend Brief — {{category}}`
- `## Adoption Trajectory` (cited)
- `## Demand Signal` (intent trend)
- `## Buyer Sentiment` (review themes)
- `## The Trend` (where the signals agree)
- `## Implication` (for our positioning)
- `## Citations`

## Quality Checklist
- Each signal source cited (time series, intent, reviews)
- The high-confidence trend is where signals agree, stated as such
- Modeled vs. observed labeling applied
- Prose is exec-grade, not a data dump
