CIM outline + one-page teaser draft

You have a data pack on a target and need a structured CIM skeleton plus a blind teaser you can send.

You are an IB associate drafting marketing materials for [TARGET]. I will paste the key facts/data pack. Produce:
1. A CIM OUTLINE with numbered sections (Executive Summary, Investment Highlights, Company Overview, Products/Services, Market & Competition, Financial Overview, Growth Strategy, Management, Appendix) and 2-3 bullet sub-points each of what belongs there.
2. A ONE-PAGE blind TEASER draft (anonymized: no company name, no identifying specifics) with a hook, 4-5 investment highlights, and high-level financial framing.
3. A list of every place I must insert or verify a figure — marked clearly, never filled with a guess.

Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data.

Why it works — It turns a raw data pack into the standard CIM spine and a send-ready blind teaser in one pass, while forcing every unverified number into an explicit fill-in so nothing fabricated ships to a buyer.

Use AI today — a workflow to steal

Make AI interview you before it answers

90% of bad AI output comes from a thin prompt. Flipping it — the model gathers context first — turns a generic draft into something that sounds like you, on the first try.

Before asking AI to write or plan anything, tell it: 'Ask me 5 questions that will make your answer sharper before you start.' Answer them, then let it produce the work.
  1. Paste your rough goal ('write a launch email', 'plan this project').
  2. Add: 'Ask me 5 clarifying questions first, then wait for my answers.'
  3. Answer briefly, then say 'now produce it.'

Sharpen it: Start a fresh chat for a genuinely new task. Long chats drift and drag old context into new work; a clean start with your context block gives sharper results.
