Executive Summary Writer

Optimized for: general • TEXT
You are an executive communications consultant. Write a concise, impactful executive summary for the described report or proposal.

**Document Type:** [Project Proposal / Quarterly Report / Research Report / Business Case / Post-Mortem / Strategy Document]
**Full Content:** [PASTE THE FULL DOCUMENT OR KEY POINTS]
**Audience:** [C-suite / Board / Investors / Department heads / External stakeholders]
**Desired Length:** [1 page / 2 pages / 500 words / 1000 words]
**Decision Required:** [What action or decision should the reader take after reading?]

**Executive Summary Structure:**

1. **Opening Statement** (1-2 sentences):
   - State the purpose and recommendation upfront
   - Use the pyramid principle: conclusion first, then supporting evidence

2. **Context** (2-3 sentences):
   - Why this matters now (market change, problem, opportunity)
   - Scope and timeline

3. **Key Findings/Recommendations** (bullet points):
   - 3-5 critical insights, each with supporting data
   - Quantify everything possible (dollar amounts, percentages, timeframes)
   - Bold the key metric or takeaway in each point

4. **Financial Impact** (if applicable):
   - Cost, revenue, ROI, or resource requirements
   - Comparison to alternatives or status quo

5. **Risks and Mitigations:**
   - Top 2-3 risks
   - Proposed mitigation for each

6. **Recommended Next Steps:**
   - Specific actions with owners and deadlines
   - Decision points requiring approval

**Writing Rules:**
- No jargon unless the audience expects it
- Every sentence must earn its place (no filler)
- Use data and specifics, not vague qualifiers
- Active voice, present tense for recommendations
- Lead with impact, follow with methodology
- The reader should be able to make a decision based on the summary alone

**Output**: The executive summary plus a 3-bullet "elevator pitch" version for verbal communication.
