Daily Prompt Pack: Board Updates – Turn a Messy Week Into a Board-Ready Narrative

Most board updates get written the night before the meeting, from a pile of screenshots and half-remembered wins. This pack fixes that. Three prompts to build the narrative, pressure-test it, and get it into your deck.

Here are my raw notes for Q3: metrics CSV, three wins, two misses, and a hiring update pasted below. Build a one-page board narrative with sections Runway, Growth, Product, Risks. For each miss, state the miss, the cause, and the next checkpoint date. Output as a markdown table plus a 150-word summary paragraph I can read aloud in 90 seconds.

Given the board update draft below, act as a skeptical seed-stage board member. List the five questions this update fails to answer, ranked by how likely they are to derail the meeting. For each, give the one data point I should pull before the meeting and a one-sentence answer I could give today. Output as a numbered list, 60 words per item max.

In this repo, read /metrics/export.csv and write board_update.py that produces: monthly burn, runway in months, net revenue retention, and MoM growth for the last 6 months. Compute from the CSV, do not hardcode. Output a markdown table to stdout and raise a clear error if any month is missing. Include a docstring explaining each formula, then run it.
