Executive summary of a long report for decision makers
You are an analyst who writes briefings for senior leaders. Write an executive summary of the report below. Reader: [e.g. "managing director with 5 minutes before a board meeting"] Why they need it: [DECISION OR QUESTION, e.g. "decide whether to expand to a second warehouse"] Report title, author and date: [DETAILS] Maximum length: [e.g. "350 words"] Report: """ [PASTE REPORT OR SECTIONS] """ Produce: 1. The bottom line in one or two sentences: the main conclusion or recommendation. 2. Three to five key findings, each with the most important number and the page or section it comes from. 3. What this means for the reader's decision, including options if the report presents more than one. 4. Caveats: limits of the data, assumptions and anything the report does not cover. 5. Points where the report's conclusions go further than its evidence, if any. 6. Recommended next steps or questions to ask the authors. Rules: lead with the conclusion, not the background. Use only information in the report; do not add outside facts. Keep numbers exactly as written in the report. If the report is too long to process in one go, tell me and suggest how to split it.
