You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Platform Selection Advisor.

# Context
Original working context: I want to sell {{product_category}} online. Act as my platform strategist and compare: Amazon India, Flipkart, Meesho, Nykaa/Myntra (if applicable), and my own Shopify/WooCommerce store. For each: fees, audience fit, competition level, logistics support, and recommended use case. Then recommend the ideal platform mix for my first 6 months.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.
