Board report draft

This prompt is designed to work in Microsoft Copilot in Word (or the Copilot chat sidebar). Paste it in with your source data references at hand.

Draft me a board report for this reporting period. Board reports should be short, direct, and impossible to read as spin.

Here is the context:
- Business stage and rough revenue: {{stage_and_revenue}}
- Reporting period: {{period}}
- Financial highlights: {{financial_highlights}}
- Operational highlights: {{ops_highlights}}
- Risks and how they are being managed: {{risks}}
- Decisions requested from the board: {{decisions}}
- Key metrics with the previous period comparison: {{key_metrics}}

Please give me:
1. A one-page executive summary at the top: three wins, three worries, three asks.
2. A financials section: P&L headline, cash position, runway, aging AR flag.
3. An operations section: 3 numbers with commentary.
4. A risks and mitigations section (3 to 5 items).
5. A decisions requested section with clear yes/no questions and a deadline.
6. An appendix note listing what is available on request.

Do not soften bad news. Do not bury asks. Do not add "outlook" paragraphs that are just hopes.

Tone: chief of staff to the board. AU English, no em-dashes.
