Perform the following steps in a structured output:

- Distribution channels: specify sales channels (sales force, integrator partners, marketplace, inbound) and their expected contribution to pipeline.
- Customer relationships: define 2-3 models (e.g., dedicated account management, N3 support, tech community) and their impact on retention.
- Revenue streams: detail sources (time & materials, fixed-price project, SaaS subscription, maintenance) with their weight in % of target revenue.
- Key resources: identify critical assets (certified experts, R&D lab, publisher partnerships, agile methodologies).
- Key activities: list essential processes (technical pre-sales, delivery, innovation, talent management).
- Key partners: types of partners (publishers like [PARTNER_PUBLISHER], schools, subcontractors, consulting firms).
- Cost structure: indicate major cost items (salaries, software licenses, premises, training) and their weight.
For each block, add concrete performance indicators (KPIs): occupancy rate, average basket, NPS, retention rate, gross margin. Conclude with a strategic summary identifying the top 3 risks and 3 differentiating growth levers for [IT_SERVICES_FIRM_NAME].

Mistral Prompt for Comparing Offers
Comparing commercial, insurance, software, or supplier offers is a time-consuming task requiring rigor and objectivity. Mistral, the French language model, excels at structured analysis of complex data and producing clear comparison tables. Thanks to its fine understanding of French and its ability to handle multiple criteria simultaneously, Mistral transforms a pile of quotes or proposals into an actionable decision summary in seconds. Whether you are a procurement manager, project lead, or individual facing a choice between several providers, a well-constructed prompt yields a weighted multi-criteria analysis, a visual summary table, and a reasoned recommendation. The challenge is not just to list differences, but to prioritize criteria based on your real priorities—price, quality, timelines, support, scalability—to reach an informed decision. The prompts presented here leverage Mistral's strengths: rigorous structuring, step-by-step reasoning, and native French output without translation approximations.
