## Prompt

```text
Write a single executive summary slide from the material below.

**Material:** [PASTE the deck, report, or analysis]
**Audience:** [e.g. "leadership team", "board", "client sponsor"]
**What I need from them:** [decision / approval / awareness]

The slide must let a busy executive who reads nothing else know the answer, why, and what's needed.

Structure:
- Headline: the main conclusion as one full sentence (not "Executive summary").
- Situation: one line on context.
- Key findings: 3 bullets, each with the most important number from my material.
- Recommendation or implication: one or two lines.
- Ask and next step: what I need, from whom, by when (bold the date).

Rules:
- Max 80 words on the slide. Every word must earn its place.
- Numbers must come from my material; mark anything unclear as [CONFIRM].
- No hedging filler ("it is important to note"). No activity reporting.

Return:
1. The slide text, laid out as it would appear.
2. A layout suggestion (e.g. headline across top, three findings as columns with one big number each, ask in a bottom bar).
3. An alternative 3-sentence version for an email or the speaker notes.
4. Anything important I'll have to defend verbally because it didn't fit.
