In this simulation, you will assume the role of a Business Analyst at Heritage Capital. Your primary responsibility is to analyze financial data and prepare a prompt for an LLM to support the merger thesis. You will collaborate closely with Carla, the AI Specialist, who will guide you in engineering the prompt for an LLM to generate the executive summary. Your strategic tasks include reviewing the financial performance data of the two organizations and collaborating with Carla to refine the prompt. The prompt needs to be designed to process the financial data and produce a concise summary that highlights key data points supporting the merger, such as revenue growth, cost synergies, and market expansion opportunities. Your decisions and actions will directly impact the quality and effectiveness of the prompt, influencing the management team’s decision-making process.
