The Prompt
Write a monthly investor update for [COMPANY].

METRICS: [METRICS]
WHAT HAPPENED: [HIGHLIGHTS]
WHAT WENT WRONG: [LOWLIGHTS]
ASKS: [ASKS]

Format:
1. TL;DR — three lines, including the bad one
2. Metrics table, with month-over-month change and one line of interpretation each
3. What went well
4. What went wrong, and what we are doing about it. This section comes before the wins-lite section, not buried at the bottom.
5. Specific asks — introductions, hires, advice — each named enough that someone can act on it

Tone: direct, no adjectives doing work that numbers should do. Never write "we are excited to announce". If a metric moved because of a one-off, say so in the same line.
Variables — replace these:
[COMPANY]· Company name [METRICS]· The numbers this month [HIGHLIGHTS]· What went well [LOWLIGHTS]· What went badly [ASKS]· What you need
