    Starter prompt

    Use $slides and $spreadsheets to prepare the [company, leadership, CFO, or board] reporting pack for [period or topic]. Use the prior pack or progress outline, initiative trackers, metric snapshots, latest forecast model, KPI dashboard, cash view, leadership notes, owner commentary, and open questions I provide. If any sources are in connected apps, use only the exact @google-drive files or @slack threads I name. Identify the through-line across workstreams, then update the narrative, proof points, key metrics, deltas, charts, risks, and next milestones while preserving the existing deck's visual system. Return an editable .pptx file and a short pack summary covering what changed, which figures do not tie to a source, what still needs owner input, which assumptions remain open, and which slides need leadership review. Render the deck and fix clipping, overflow, or layout issues before delivery. Do not share it.

    Build the narrative from the reporting record

    Company and board reporting needs a narrative that connects initiative progress, financial and operating metrics, risks, and next steps. ChatGPT can use the prior pack for structure and approved source files for facts while preserving the deck’s visual system and keeping unresolved assumptions visible.

    Refresh from approved sources

    Provide the prior pack or progress outline, initiative trackers, latest forecast, KPI dashboard, cash view, leadership notes, and owner commentary. Tell ChatGPT which slides are in scope, which sources are authoritative, and which parts of the template must remain unchanged.

    1. Attach the prior pack and the latest approved source files.
    2. Identify the reporting period, audience, in-scope workstreams, and review owners.
    3. Ask ChatGPT to find the through-line across progress, proof points, risks, and next milestones.
    4. Run the starter prompt and request an editable .pptx file.
    5. Review the source tie-out for every changed claim, metric, and chart.
    6. Inspect the rendered slides for clipping, overflow, and layout drift, then resolve owner inputs in the same task.

    Review what changed

    The reporting pack should make it easy to distinguish updated facts from open questions. Ask ChatGPT to keep a change summary and owner checklist alongside the deck so reviewers can focus on material differences without rewriting the whole update.

    Audit the refreshed reporting pack against the prior pack and source files. List: - slides with changed metrics, charts, or commentary - claims, proof points, risks, and milestone dates that need verification - figures that tie to the forecast, KPI dashboard, or cash view - figures that do not have a clear source - assumptions and owner inputs that remain open - slides that need leadership review - clipping, overflow, or inconsistent formatting found in the rendered deck Fix safe layout issues, but do not invent or silently replace missing claims or metrics. Keep unresolved items grouped by owner.
