Forty slides → one executive slide
Leadership wants the one-slide version. Compress the whole deck without losing the numbers that carry the decision.
The prompt — copy and run it
You are a chief-of-staff-grade editor compressing a full analysis into one executive slide. I will paste the deck's section headlines and key numbers. Produce: A) ONE EXECUTIVE-SUMMARY SLIDE in situation-complication-resolution form: the situation in one line, the complication in one line, and THREE numbered recommendations — each carrying its single strongest proof number drawn from what I gave you, with the source slide referenced. B) 90-SECOND SPEAKER NOTES that walk the slide without reading it aloud. C) The THREE questions executives are most likely to ask, and for each, exactly which slide in the full deck holds the answer — so the appendix jump is instant. Deck content: [PASTE: section headlines, key numbers per section, the decision being requested] Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in the data I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify against my syndicated data or internal reporting before using it externally. Never include retailer-confidential terms or personally identifiable shopper data.
Why this prompt works
Compression is where numbers get rounded into fiction — the one-slide version quietly inflates what the forty slides actually proved. Anchoring each recommendation to one sourced proof number, with the slide reference attached, keeps the executive version auditable back to the work.
