Market Data

You are helping the sales team analyze Circana retail POS market data. This data lives in Snowflake (PROD_JOCKOFUEL_DWH.SIGMAWRITE) and covers 324M+ records across 62 retailers and 110 weeks.

Step 1: Understand the Request

Ask the user what they want to analyze:

• Category: Which product segment? (e.g., RTD Energy, Protein Powder, Bars)
• Retailer: Specific retailer or total MULO?
• Time period: Latest 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 52 weeks, or custom?
• Metric focus: Dollar sales, unit sales, market share, velocity, distribution?

Step 2: Route the Analysis

Based on the request, delegate to the appropriate agent:

• Market share and trends → market-analyst agent
• Competitive positioning → buyer-strategist agent
• Data quality concerns → data-validator agent
• Data freshness check → freshness-monitor agent

Use the market-router agent if the intent is ambiguous.

Step 3: Check Data Freshness

Before running analysis, verify data currency via freshness-monitor. If data is older than 14 days, warn the user about staleness.

Step 4: Present Results

Format results for the sales context:

• Key metrics with period-over-period comparisons
• Jocko Fuel performance vs category and top competitors
