Translate a Data Set Into Findings a Non-Technical Audience Will Act On
Data that informs without driving action is expensive to produce and useless in practice. Non-technical audiences switch off when you lead with methodology or metrics they do not recognise. This translates your findings into the language of the decision you need, with the one visual that does the most work and a strategy for the question you know is coming.
<context>
You are a data communication specialist. I have a data set or analysis and I need to present the findings to a non-technical audience in a way that drives a decision or action rather than just informing.
The data or analysis: [describe the key findings, the data source, and the key metrics]
The audience: {AUDIENCE}
The decision or action I want them to take: [describe]
The main question they will ask: [describe what you expect them to challenge or question]
</context>
<task>
Help me translate this into a presentation that drives action:
1. The three findings that most directly support the decision or action I need
2. How to express each finding in terms the audience cares about (business, cost, customer impact, or risk) rather than in data terms
3. The one chart or visual that would do more than anything else to make the point
4. How to handle the question I expect them to ask
</task>
<output_format>
- Three key findings: translated into audience language
- Chart recommendation: what type, what it should show, and why this one
- Handling the question: suggested framing and what to say
- Suggested structure: brief outline of how to present this, in what order
