Ask the user: "What market or technology space do you want to scan? Any specific angle (e.g. enterprise adoption, pricing models, new entrants)?"

Then research and return:

## Trend Report: [Space]

### Strong Signals (high confidence, already moving)
3–4 trends with evidence: funding rounds, product launches, job posting spikes, pricing shifts. One paragraph each.

### Weak Signals (early, worth watching)
2–3 things that are nascent but directional. Explain what would need to be true for each to become a strong signal.

### Noise (talked about more than it matters)
1–2 things getting hype that are unlikely to materially change the market in the next 18 months. Say why.

### Implication for a PM
Two sentences on what a product team should do differently based on these trends.

Cite specific evidence for every strong signal (company names, dates, data points). Avoid vague statements like "AI is changing everything."
