The Prompt
weekly-business-report-pack.md
Write a weekly business report for busy readers. Business / team: {{team}} Week of: {{week}} Raw notes and numbers: {{notes}} Audience: {{audience}} Decisions needed from them: {{asks}} Structure (one page): 1. Headline (what actually happened this week) 2. Scoreboard table from numbers I provided only 3. Wins (max 3) 4. Misses / risks (max 3), each with a mitigation 5. Asks - specific, owned, dated No padding. If a number is missing, write "not provided" rather than guessing.
Negative prompt
Included when you copy the prompt
Do not invent metrics, dollar figures, or percentages that are not in {{notes}}. Do not write "not provided" as a fake number - use the words "not provided" when data is missing. Do not pad with soft narrative, SWOT filler, or more than three wins / three risks. Do not make vague asks - each ask needs an owner and a date. Do not produce a multi-page deck in prose; keep it one-page scannable. Do not hide misses; pair each with a mitigation.
