Output expectations

• Return a table of future periods with revenue and EPS ranges, averages, and analyst coverage
• After the table, summarize growth trajectory, estimate dispersion, and coverage quality

Analysis heuristics

• Implied growth: compare future estimates to current actuals
• Dispersion: wider ranges imply lower conviction
• Coverage depth: more analysts usually means a stronger consensus
• Near-term vs long-term: confidence should fall as periods move further out

Follow-up prompts

• "Compare these estimates to the last three years of actual results."
• "Calculate the implied forward P/E using the consensus EPS."
• "What could drive upside or downside versus the consensus?"
