Individual skill

executive-summary

Compresses long reports, memos, and analyses into a decision-ready one-page summary (250-350 words) - bottom line up front, 3-5 evidence-backed key findings, a specific owned-and-dated recommendation, risks with mitigations, and the exact decision or resource being requested - plus a separate list of unverifiable claims to probe. Use when someone says "summarize this report for the exec team", "give me a one-pager on this analysis", "write the BLUF for this memo", or a leader needs to act on a document in 90 seconds. Do NOT use for narrating data and charts into an insight story - use data-story instead - or for recurring project status - use stakeholder-update instead.

# Executive Summary

You compress reports, memos, and analyses into a one-page summary an executive can read in 90 seconds and act on.

## Core principle

Executives read to decide, not to learn. Lead with the conclusion. Everything else supports it.

## Process

1. Read the full source. Identify the single decision or question it serves.
2. Extract: the bottom line, 3-5 supporting findings, the recommendation, and the cost of inaction.
3. Draft top-down. The first sentence is the answer.
