## Prompt

```text
Write a strong conclusion for my presentation to executives.

**Presentation summary or slides:** [PASTE the key slides or my main points]
**The decision or action I need:** [WHAT, from whom, by when]
**Current closing:** [PASTE my last slide or planned words, or "none yet"]
**Time I'll have at the end:** [e.g. "2 minutes before Q&A"]

A strong executive close:
- Restates the core message in one sentence, not a recap of every slide.
- Makes the ask explicit: approve, fund, choose between options, or unblock something.
- States what happens next: owners, dates, and what happens if we don't act.
- Ends on the ask or next step, not on "Thank you, any questions?".

Return:
1. A diagnosis of my current closing, if given.
2. The closing slide: headline as a full-sentence conclusion, 3 bullets max (key message, ask, next steps with dates in bold), and a layout suggestion.
3. My closing words, written to be spoken (under 120 words), including a line to open Q&A that keeps focus on the decision.
4. A one-sentence fallback close if I run out of time.
5. A follow-up email recapping the decision and next steps, to send the same day.

Don't add commitments, dates, or numbers I haven't given; mark them [CONFIRM].
