## Prompt

```text
Read the material below and give me a one-page brief with everything I need to know before my meeting.

**Meeting:** [TITLE, date, length]
**Who will be there:** [NAMES, ROLES, and anything I know about their positions]
**My role in the meeting:** [e.g. "presenting", "decision maker", "just attending", "representing my team"]
**What I want to get out of it:** [MY GOAL]
**Background material:** [PASTE EMAILS, DOCUMENTS, PREVIOUS MEETING NOTES, DATA]

Return, on one page:
1. **Why this meeting is happening** (2 sentences).
2. **The 5 facts I must know**, each with its source (which email or document it came from).
3. **What has already been agreed** and **what is still open** from previous discussions.
4. **Who wants what:** one line per attendee on their likely priority or concern, based only on the material.
5. **Numbers to have at hand** (exactly as they appear in the material).
6. **Likely questions I will get** and short answers.
7. **My goal and the ask I should make.**
8. **What I have not been told:** gaps or inconsistencies in the material worth checking before I walk in.

Rules: use only the material provided. If sources disagree (e.g. two different dates or numbers), show both and flag it. Do not guess people's opinions beyond what the material shows.
