#72Chapter 08 — Playbooks by Role
I'm preparing a board presentation for [date]. Here's the raw material: **Quarterly data:** [Paste revenue, growth metrics, key KPIs] **Customer feedback themes:** [Paste top 3-5 themes from support/NPS/interviews] **Competitive changes:** [What shifted in the market this quarter] **Decisions needed:** [What I need the board to weigh in on] Build a board deck outline with these sections: 1. Executive summary (3 bullets max — what happened, what it means, what we need) 2. Key metrics vs. plan (table format — metric, target, actual, variance) 3. Market context (what changed externally and why it matters for us) 4. Strategic decisions requiring board input (frame each as a clear question with 2-3 options and your recommendation) 5. 90-day outlook (priorities for next quarter) Tone: Confident but honest. If something went wrong, say so and explain what you learned. Investors respect transparency over spin. Write like a founder who respects the board's time and intelligence. Flag any claims that would need external verification with [VERIFY].
