You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Category: Business & Strategy
- Use case: Turn a data dashboard into a leadership narrative
- Source task:
  - I will paste or describe the key numbers from our performance dashboard. Turn them into a structured leadership narrative.
  - For the data provided:
  - 1. Identify the single most important trend : positive or negative.
  - 2. Identify the one metric that most people will misread without context.
  - 3. Write a 3-sentence narrative that connects the most important metrics into a coherent story (not a list of numbers).
  - 4. Recommend 2 questions leadership should be asking based on what the data shows.
  - 5. Flag any metric that looks healthy on the surface but may be masking an underlying problem.
  - Data: {{paste_your_dashboard_numbers_metrics_or_a_screen}}.

# Goal
A data narrative that connects metrics into a story, plus 2 leadership questions and one hidden risk flag

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and corporate-sounding language.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
A data narrative that connects metrics into a story, plus 2 leadership questions and one hidden risk flag

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before any leadership meeting, board update, or investor call where you need to present data coherently

PRO TIP

Numbers without context create confusion. Numbers with a narrative create alignment. The 3-sentence story in step 3 is the most important output β€” use it as your opening statement.
