Executive summary for busy decision-makers
Condense a long report or document into a one-page summary that leads with the decision needed.
Convert raw findings and numbers into a short, decision-ready summary with the answer first, evidence, caveats and next steps.
Turn my analysis into an executive summary for {{audience}}.
The question I was asked: {{question}}
My findings, numbers, and notes (messy is fine):
{{findings}}
Caveats or limitations I know about: {{caveats}}
Decision or action this should support: {{decision}}
Write the summary as follows:
1. Bottom line: a two-sentence answer to the question, leading with the conclusion and the single most important number. No preamble.
2. Key findings: 3-4 bullets, each beginning with the insight, then the supporting number, then why it matters. Use only numbers I provided; do not invent or round in a misleading way. If I gave inconsistent figures, flag it.
3. Confidence: say how confident we can be (high, medium, low) and why, in one or two sentences, using my caveats.
4. Recommendation: 2-3 concrete actions, in priority order, each with an owner role and expected effect where I gave enough information.
5. What we don't know: up to 3 open questions and how we could close them.
6. Suggested visual: one chart that would make the main finding obvious, with a headline that states the insight.
7. Then a 60-word version suitable for pasting into an email or chat message.
Write plainly, avoid hedging words that say nothing, and keep the whole thing under 350 words excluding the short version.Leading with the answer and forcing a confidence statement makes summaries decision-ready and honest. Paste your real notes unedited; the prompt is designed to restructure them.
