Writing & Editing
Condenses a long report or proposal into a one-page executive summary that leads with the decision needed and the evidence for it.

Write an executive summary of the document below for a reader who may read nothing else.
Reader: senior leadership
What the reader must decide or do after reading: {{decision or action}}
Document type: {{document type}}
Length limit: 250 words
Tone: plain and direct
Document:
{{document}}
Structure the summary like this:
1. The ask or the conclusion, first, in one or two sentences.
2. The situation: why this matters now, in two or three sentences.
3. The evidence: the three strongest facts or figures that support the conclusion, each with its number or source as it appears in the document.
4. The risks or open issues the reader should not overlook, including anything the document admits it does not know.
5. The recommended next step, with an owner and a date if the document gives them.
Rules:
- Use only what the document says. Do not add facts, benchmarks or recommendations of your own.
- Keep numbers exactly as written, with their units and time periods. Do not round or recalculate them.
- If the document's conclusion is weaker than its headline suggests, say so plainly.
- Do not use filler such as "this document discusses" or "in conclusion".
- After the summary, list up to three things from the document you left out that a careful reader might still want to see, with their section names.3 required fields are empty and will stay as a {{placeholder}} in the copied text.
Illustrative only. Real answers depend on your input and the assistant you use.
Ask: Approve a $48,000 pilot to move invoice processing to automated matching in Q1. Situation: Finance spends about 120 hours a month on manual invoice matching, and the error rate has risen as volume has grown. Evidence: - Manual matching takes 120 hours per month (Section 2). - 3.1% of invoices needed correction last quarter, up from 1.8% a year earlier (Table 1). - A vendor trial matched 94% of invoices automatically (Section 4). Risks and open issues: The trial used one vendor's invoices only; the document does not say how well the tool handles scanned paper invoices. Next step: Finance lead to confirm vendor terms by January 15. Left out: the full vendor comparison (Section 5) and the training plan (Appendix B).
The "left out" list is a safety valve. It tells you what the summary cut, so you can add it back if your reader needs it.
For a persuasive document, ask a second time with the instruction to summarize the strongest counterargument to the recommendation. That makes the summary more honest.
An executive summary should work on its own. Test it by sending it to someone who has not seen the document and asking what they would do next.
