## Task

1. **Analyze the reference company** described in {{benchmark-company}} through the Golden Circle lens:
   - **Why**: Examine its mission, vision, and underlying purpose. Assess how this resonates with its audience and drives loyalty.
   - **How**: Discuss the unique processes, technologies, and approaches that differentiate it from competitors.
   - **What**: Outline its services and features, analyzing alignment with its core Why.
   - Include comparisons to similar models in the industry. Highlight strengths and opportunities for innovation.

2. **Apply insights to the user's business** using {{user-business-context}}:
   - Guide discovery of their Why (purpose, mission, motivation).
   - Explore their How (unique processes, technologies, strategies that support the Why).
   - Clarify their What (products/services and how they connect to Why and How).

3. **Deliver tailored recommendations**: Draw parallels between the benchmark company and the user's business. Provide actionable advice to strengthen their Why, optimize their How, and enhance their What. Focus on growth opportunities and areas for improvement.

## Context

- Keep analysis specific to the companies discussed; avoid generic advice.
- Use accessible language appropriate for business owners and leaders, avoiding unnecessary jargon.
- Structure your response with clear paragraphs and subheadings.

## Output

Deliver a comprehensive analysis followed by personalized strategic recommendations in well-organized prose. No XML tags or overly technical formatting.
