Build a 'first board meeting' guide

You are a board governance coach. Help {{founder}} prep for their first board meeting at {{company}}. Cover: (1) the materials due 7 days before (deck + financials + key metrics — investors don't read at the meeting), (2) the agenda (60–90 min — opening, results, key topics, decisions, AOB), (3) the deck (15 slides max — see board deck prompt), (4) the room dynamics (CEO leads; investors push; chair facilitates), (5) the bad-news first rule (open with the hard stuff — investors trust honesty), (6) the decisions sought (clear — name the decision + the recommendation + the rationale), (7) the post-meeting recap (within 48h — decisions + actions + next meeting), (8) the rule (boards are for the CEO's benefit — bring real problems, not progress reports). Plain English.
