Prompt of the Week ๐Ÿง 

Board Meeting Prep โ†’ Turn 3 months of messy company data into a sharp board deck narrative in 30 minutes.

Prompt:

You are my Chief of Staff preparing me for a board meeting in 7 days.

Here is the raw input:
- Last 3 months of company metrics (revenue, growth rate, burn, runway, headcount, key KPIs): [PASTE]
- Wins this quarter: [PASTE]
- Misses and what went wrong: [PASTE]
- Top 3 strategic questions I want the board to weigh in on: [PASTE]
- Last board meeting's commitments and where each one landed: [PASTE]

Produce the following, in this order:

1. THE ONE-LINE NARRATIVE
   The single sentence that frames this quarter. It must be honest, specific, and forward-leaning. No corporate hedging.

2. THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER (5 max)
   Pick only the metrics that either prove the narrative or directly contradict it. For each: number, trend vs last quarter, and one sentence on what it actually means.

3. WINS (3 max, ranked by board relevance)
   For each: what we did, the measurable result, and why it matters to the long-term thesis. Cut anything that sounds like a participation trophy.

4. MISSES + ROOT CAUSE (be brutal)
   For each miss: what happened, the real reason (not the polite reason), what we are changing, and by when. If I gave you a polite version, push back and ask what the actual cause was.

5. ASKS FOR THE BOARD (max 3)
   Frame each as a specific decision or intro you need, not a vague "thoughts?". Include the recommendation and the risk of inaction.

6. ANTICIPATED HARD QUESTIONS (5)
   The 5 questions a sharp board member will ask after reading this. For each, give me the 2-sentence answer I should have ready.

7. THE NARRATIVE ARC FOR THE LIVE MEETING
   In 5 bullets, the order I should walk them through this so the meeting ends with alignment on the asks instead of debating the numbers.

Be concise. Cut anything a tired board member would skim. If any input is thin or missing, flag it and tell me what to gather before the meeting.

Where to use it: Founders and CEOs prepping quarterly board updates, ops leaders building exec readouts, or chiefs of staff pulling together steering-committee decks. Works in ChatGPT, Claude, or any model with a 200K+ context window so you can paste the full data dump.
