## Prompt

```text
Extract the key findings and recommendations from the report below.

**Report:** [PASTE THE REPORT, or the sections you need]
**Who I am and why I'm reading it:** [e.g. "operations lead deciding what to fund next year"]
**What I care about most:** [optional - e.g. cost, customer impact, risk]

Return:
1. **Key findings** - a table: | # | Finding (one sentence, in plain words) | Evidence the report gives | Strength of evidence (strong / moderate / weak) | Page or section |
2. **Recommendations** - a table: | # | Recommendation as written | What it would mean in practice | Owner it implies | Cost or effort mentioned | Linked finding # |
3. **Top 3 for me** - the findings or recommendations most relevant to my role and goal, and why.
4. **Recommendations without support** - any that are not backed by a finding in the report.
5. **Caveats** - limitations, sample sizes, date of data, or conflicts of interest the report mentions or that are obvious.

Rules:
- Report what the document says; do not add your own recommendations unless I ask.
- Quote numbers exactly as written and give the page or section so I can check them.
- If the report is vague on something (no owner, no timeline, no cost), say so rather than filling it in.
```
