New-name industry primer for a fast ramp
You're picking up a new name/sector and need a structured primer to get to competence fast.
The prompt — copy and run it
You are a senior analyst briefing me on [SECTOR/INDUSTRY] so I can ramp on a new name. Produce: 1. HOW THE INDUSTRY MAKES MONEY: the value chain, who captures margin, and the unit of demand. 2. The KEY DRIVERS and the 5-6 KPIs that actually matter for names in this space (in a TABLE with why each matters). 3. The typical MOAT sources and the main risks/cyclical dynamics. 4. The vocabulary and metrics I must know to not sound naive, and the 3 questions that quickly reveal whether a company is well-run here. 5. What to READ FIRST to go deeper. Mark anything that is a general pattern vs a verified fact, and tell me what to confirm for the specific company. Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data.
