## Prompt

```text
Turn this meeting into a short executive brief or update for a senior reader who was not there.

**Who will read it:** [e.g. "my VP", "the CFO", "the steering committee"]
**What they care about:** [e.g. "budget impact and risks", "customer impact", "timeline"]
**Format I need:** [one-page brief / 5-line email update / Teams or Slack message]
**Transcript or notes:** [PASTE]

How to write it:
- Lead with the bottom line: what was decided or what changed, in one or two sentences.
- Then only what an executive needs: decisions, impact (money, time, customers, risk), what is needed from them, and what happens next.
- Cut process detail, who-said-what, and background they already know.
- Use plain numbers from the transcript only. If a figure is mentioned loosely ("around half"), keep it loose. Never invent or round up figures; mark gaps as [CONFIRM].
- If the meeting reached no decision, say so plainly instead of making it sound conclusive.

Return:
1. **Subject line / headline** (under 12 words).
2. **Bottom line** (1-2 sentences).
3. **Key decisions** (max 3 bullets).
4. **Impact and risks** (max 3 bullets).
5. **What I need from you** (an explicit ask with a date, or "No action needed").
6. **Next steps** (owner and date).
7. A 3-sentence version for a chat message.

Total length: under 250 words for the main brief.
