Prompt Library

Build a weekly executive briefing deck from your live numbers

Every Monday, Sai pulls ARR, net dollar retention, cash runway, and the risks your team flagged into a six-slide briefing deck that opens full-screen in a browser — the same structure every week, so the numbers are what changes.

The PROMPTS
Copy prompt
Every Monday at [7am], build this week's executive briefing deck and send me the link, to [email address / Slack channel]. Sources: revenue and subscription data from [billing export / Stripe / sheet URL]; cash and burn from [finance sheet URL]; risks and open decisions from [risk register sheet URL / #leadership Slack channel]. Build six slides, in this order. 1 — The week: three sentences covering what moved, what broke, and what needs a decision. 2 — ARR: current ARR and week-over-week change, split into new, expansion, and churned. 3 — NDR: trailing [12]-month net dollar retention and the [3] accounts that moved it most. 4 — Runway: cash on hand, average net burn over the last [3] months, months of runway, and the calendar month it runs out. 5 — Risks: up to [5] named risks, each with an owner and whether it got better, worse, or stayed flat since last week. 6 — Decisions: open decisions carried from last week plus new ones, each with who owns it. Output a single web page that presents full-screen, one slide per screen, arrow keys to advance. Draw every chart as native SVG from the actual numbers. Do not produce a PPT, and do not paste screenshots of charts. Show every metric next to last week's value. State how each metric is calculated in a footnote on its slide. If a source is missing or a number cannot be computed, show it as missing on the slide and say why. Never estimate, interpolate, or carry forward last week's figure as if it were new. Keep every past week's deck at its own link so I can go back to any Monday.

Platforms this prompt works across

Most executive decks are rebuilt, not updated. Someone exports the numbers on Sunday night, pastes them into last week's slides, fixes the charts that broke, and hopes nobody notices the runway slide still says last month. The format stays the same every week — the work is entirely in moving numbers from one place to another, which is precisely the part that should not need a person.

What this recurring task does

Every Monday, Sai reads your revenue, cash, and risk sources, computes the handful of numbers leadership actually steers by, and builds a six-slide briefing that opens full-screen in any browser. The structure never changes, so a reader's eye goes straight to what did. Every metric sits next to last week's value, and every calculation is footnoted on its slide.

‍

What goes on each slide

Six slides, each answering one question. A seventh slide is almost always a sign that something should have been cut.

Why it is a web deck, not a PPT

A briefing that exists as a link can be opened on a phone in the car, presented full-screen in the meeting, and revisited next month without anyone hunting for the right attachment. Charts are drawn as native SVG from the real numbers, so they stay sharp at any size and never drift from the data behind them. There is no template to break, and no chart that was a screenshot of a spreadsheet from three weeks ago.

‍

What happens on the second run

Each Monday produces a new deck at its own link, and the previous one stays exactly as it was presented — so the history is a record, not a file someone kept editing. Week-over-week deltas are computed against the prior deck, not recalculated from memory. Risks carry forward with their status change, and a risk that disappears from the source is marked closed rather than silently dropped. When a number cannot be computed, the slide says so. A briefing that estimates is worse than one with a gap, because leadership makes decisions on it.

‍

From weekly briefing to board meeting

A quarter is thirteen of these. When the board meeting comes around, the latest deck is already the spine of the board pack — the same metrics, the same definitions, with thirteen weeks of history behind every trend line. What changes is the narrative on top, not a scramble to reconstruct the numbers. Metric definitions follow the conventions in a16z's guide to startup metrics, so ARR and NDR mean what an investor expects them to mean.
