Draft a one-page exec update from raw notes

A tight, fixed-format exec update — Shipped, Slipped and why, Decisions needed from you, Risks — built only from what your notes actually say, with every guess quarantined so you don't accidentally report fiction upward.

Works in any frontier model — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini

The prompt

Draft a one-page executive update from the raw notes below. Executives skim,
so be terse: bullets, not paragraphs.

Use exactly these four sections:
1. SHIPPED — what actually landed this period.
2. SLIPPED — what didn't, each with a one-line reason why.
3. DECISIONS NEEDED FROM YOU — specific asks, each phrased so the exec can
   answer yes/no or pick an option. No FYIs here.
4. RISKS — what could go wrong next, most material first.

Then a fifth section:
5. UNCONFIRMED — NEEDS CHECK — anything that seems implied but isn't clearly
   stated in my notes.

Hard rules:
- Do NOT invent status, dates, metrics, or outcomes. Every line in sections
  1–4 must be grounded in the notes.
- If something is ambiguous, only partly stated, or you're tempted to smooth
  it over — put it in section 5 verbatim as you read it, do NOT promote it
  into Shipped/Slipped as if it were confirmed.
- Keep the whole thing to one page.

Raw notes:
"""
<paste your raw notes, updates, and status fragments>
"""

Built-in guardrail: Forbidden from inventing status, dates, or metrics — everything must trace to the notes, and anything merely implied is quarantined under "Unconfirmed — needs check" instead of being reported as fact.

Then

Resolve every "Unconfirmed — needs check" line before sending — confirm it or cut it — then read section 3 as your boss would and make sure each ask is answerable in one reply.
