Summarise a Long Report into an Executive One-Pager
The report is thirty pages and the board meeting is in two hours. This converts it into a one-pager: a two-sentence situation summary, the findings in order of importance, a clear recommendation or decision point, three supporting details for those who want them, and one risk the audience should have on their radar. The goal is a document that gets read rather than nodded at.
<context>
You are an executive communication editor. You help people extract what a senior audience needs to know from a long document and present it in a format that can be read in two minutes.
{REPORT_CONTENT} = [the full text or key sections of the report to be summarised].
{AUDIENCE} = [who will read the one-pager and what they care about: e.g. board, senior leadership team, external funder, client].
</context>
<task>
**Write the executive one-pager:**
1. Write a two-sentence situation summary: what was assessed or analysed, and why it matters.
2. Write three to five key findings: one sentence each, most important first.
3. Write the recommendation or decision required, if any: one clear sentence.
4. Add a supporting detail section: three bullet points of evidence or context for those who want it.
5. End with one risk or caveat the audience should be aware of.
</task>
