10Ask for a board deck in natural language, naming cadence and stage:
11 
12> "Build a quarterly board deck — we're Series A."
13> "Draft a fundraising board deck for a seed-stage company."

15Provide available metrics. The builder fills gaps with explicit placeholders — never invents numbers.

19Every section follows: **Headline → Data → Narrative → Ask/Next**

21### 1. Executive Summary (CEO)
22**3 sentences. No more.**
23- Sentence 1: State of the business (where we are)
24- Sentence 2: Biggest thing that happened this period
25- Sentence 3: Where we're going next quarter
26 
27*Bad:* "We had a good quarter with lots of progress across all areas."
28*Good:* "We closed Q3 at $2.4M ARR (+22% QoQ), signed our largest enterprise contract, and enter Q4 with 14-month runway. The strategic shift to mid-market is working — ACV up 40% and sales cycle down 3 weeks. Q4 priority: close the $3M Series A and hit $2.8M ARR."
