Generate complete board meeting packages — agenda, financial summary, KPI dashboard, risk register, and action item tracker.

What This Does

Takes your company context and produces a ready-to-present board package that covers what directors actually care about: cash position, burn rate, revenue trajectory, key risks, and decisions needed.

How to Use

Tell the agent what you need:

• "Prepare board materials for Q1 review"
• "Generate a board deck covering last quarter's performance"
• "Create an emergency board update on [situation]"

Board Package Structure

1. Executive Summary (1 page max)

• Company health: GREEN / YELLOW / RED
• Cash position and runway (months)
• Revenue vs plan (actual / forecast / variance)
• Top 3 wins since last meeting
• Top 3 risks requiring board attention

Tips

• Lead with the bad news. Boards hate surprises more than problems.
• One page of insight beats ten pages of data.
• Every metric needs context: vs plan, vs last quarter, vs industry.
• If you need a decision, frame it clearly with options and a recommendation.
• Send materials 3+ days early. Directors who read ahead ask better questions.
