Executive summary BLUF rewrite

Your summary buries the lede and you want a bottom-line-up-front version.

The prompt — copy and run it

You are an editor rewriting an executive summary using BLUF (bottom line up front). I will paste my draft. Produce:
1. A rewritten summary that opens with the CONCLUSION and the ask, then the 3 supporting reasons, then the key risk.
2. A TABLE flagging what you CUT and why (jargon, throat-clearing, buried caveats).
3. A one-line version (the single sentence a busy reader would remember).
4. Any claim that needs a number or citation to be credible, flagged for me to fill.
Preserve my facts exactly — do not add claims, figures, or certainty I did not write.

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 this prompt works

Decision-makers read top-down; leading with the conclusion and the ask, then trimming throat-clearing, is the single highest-leverage edit for a memo or summary that has to be acted on.

Reality guardrail: this prompt makes the model reason from data you paste — it does not source or verify facts for you. Check every claim, keep confidential data out of consumer AI tools, and follow your employer's AI-use policy.
