Transforme Números Trimestrais Brutos em um Relatório Pronto para o Conselho em 5 Minutos
Why this prompt matters
Board members spend an average of 2.5 minutes per board pack page. Reports that bury the lead, present raw numbers without narrative, or force directors to reverse-engineer the story lose the room before the meeting starts. Management credibility is won or lost in how numbers are framed — not just what the numbers say. A poorly structured board report has derailed funding rounds and eroded board confidence in otherwise strong-performing teams.
What we use it for
A founder has a board meeting on Monday. It is Friday afternoon. They have a spreadsheet of Q2 numbers and a dozen Slack messages from department heads. They need a coherent narrative that tells the story behind the numbers — not just lists them — and they have 45 minutes to pull it together.
Prompt
Act as a senior financial analyst and board communications specialist with 15+ years of experience preparing executive reports for venture-backed and public company boards. Context: I am [YOUR ROLE — e.g., CFO, Founder, VP Finance] at [COMPANY NAME], a [BRIEF DESCRIPTION — e.g., B2B SaaS company, 50 employees, Series A]. Here is our raw performance data for [QUARTER, e.g., Q2 2026]: [PASTE YOUR DATA HERE — include any combination of: revenue, ARR/MRR, growth rates, churn, burn rate, runway, headcount, customer counts, NPS, product KPIs, or department updates] Task: Transform this raw data into a polished, board-ready quarterly report with these exact sections: 1. **Board TL;DR** — One bold sentence: the single most important thing the board needs to know this quarter 2. **Executive Summary** — 3–4 sentences: the narrative arc of the quarter (what we set out to do, what happened, what it means) 3. **Financial Performance** — Revenue, margin, burn rate, runway with clear period-over-period comparisons 4. **Key Wins** — Top 2–3 achievements with supporting metrics 5. **Challenges & Risks** — Honest, data-backed assessment; flag any trend that needs board attention 6. **Strategic Outlook** — What we are prioritizing next quarter and the specific rationale 7. **Ask** — What we need from this board: decisions, introductions, approvals, or guidance Constraints: - Write in confident, direct language — no hedging, no filler phrases - Back every claim with the data provided; mark gaps as [DATA NEEDED: specify] rather than inventing numbers - Use bullet points for KPI tables; narrative paragraphs for analysis and context - Target 400–550 words total — board packs get skimmed, not read cover to cover - Do not use the phrases "in today's landscape", "it's important to note", or "moving forward" Output Format: Return the complete report in markdown with H2 headers for each section. Start immediately with the Board TL;DR.
Result
Board TL;DR: We hit 118% of revenue target in Q2, but CAC increased 34% YoY — we need a board decision on enterprise pricing before we re-enter those conversations.
Executive Summary
Q2 2026 was a quarter of top-line strength with emerging bottom-line pressure. Acme Corp closed $2.1M in net new ARR — 18% above plan — driven by our mid-market expansion motion. We grew to 214 paying customers (up from 168 in Q1) and pushed NRR to 112%. However, two enterprise deals slipped to Q3 due to procurement delays, and increased paid acquisition costs compressed runway from 18 months to 14 months. We enter Q3 with strong momentum but tighter capital efficiency than planned.
Financial Performance
- ARR: $8.4M (up from $6.3M in Q1, +33% QoQ)
- Net New ARR: $2.1M (plan: $1.78M, 118% attainment)
- Gross Margin: 71% (Q1: 74% — compressed by enterprise onboarding costs)
- Monthly Burn: $410K (Q1: $340K)
- Runway: 14 months at current burn
- CAC: $18,400 (Q2 2025: $13,700, +34% YoY)
- NRR: 112%
Key Wins
- Mid-market motion validated: 7 new logos in the $60K–$120K ACV range; average deal cycle 42 days, down from 67 in Q1
- NRR crossed 110% for the first time: Expansion revenue from existing accounts outpaced churn; 3 customers upgraded from Professional to Enterprise tier
- API v2 launched June 3 with zero P0 incidents: Shipped on revised schedule after Q1 slip; early adoption rate at 23% of active accounts within 30 days
Challenges & Risks
- Rising CAC: Google and LinkedIn CPMs up 28% since January; testing a partner referral channel as a lower-CAC alternative — early results inconclusive
- Two slipped enterprise deals ($340K combined ACV): Both in active pipeline for Q3; delays are procurement-driven, not product or pricing objections
- Burn trajectory: If both enterprise deals close in Q3, burn normalizes to ~$360K/month; if they slip again, runway falls below 12 months by October — at that point a bridge conversation becomes necessary
Strategic Outlook
Q3 priorities: close the two carried enterprise deals, launch partner program (target: 5 active referral partners by end of August), and begin Series B relationship-building with a target raise window of Q1 2027. We are reducing paid acquisition spend by 15% in Q3 to improve CAC while the partner channel matures.
Ask
- Decision needed: Approve the proposed enterprise pricing floor ($180K ACV minimum) before we re-engage the two slipped deals — current pricing created ambiguity in procurement conversations
- Introductions: Warm intros to Sequoia (Sarah Chen) and Lightspeed (Marcus Webb) for early Series B relationship-building
A maioria dos fundadores e líderes financeiros conhece seus números de cor. O que os atrapalha é o enquadramento — transformar uma planilha em uma narrativa que gere confiança, exponha os riscos certos e leve o conselho às decisões que realmente importam.
Este prompt faz esse trabalho de tradução em menos de cinco minutos. Ele pega seus dados brutos do trimestre e os estrutura nas sete seções que um conselho realmente precisa: um TL;DR de uma linha, um resumo executivo, desempenho financeiro com comparações periódicas, vitórias, desafios, perspectivas estratégicas e um pedido claro.
Por que o prompt funciona
A instrução de Função posiciona o modelo como um especialista em comunicação com conselhos, não como um assistente de escrita genérico. Esse enquadramento inclina a saída para a concisão executiva e linguagem direta.
O bloco de Contexto é intencionalmente aberto. Você pode colar uma exportação CSV, tópicos, um resumo do Slack ou uma mistura de tudo.
A seção de Restrições evita os dois modos de falha mais comuns: números inventados e prosa vaga.
Quando usar
Este prompt foi criado para reuniões trimestrais do conselho, mas se adapta naturalmente a atualizações mensais para investidores e comunicações gerais para equipes de liderança.
Dicas para melhores resultados
- Inclua comparações anuais e trimestrais nos seus dados brutos
- Adicione contexto sobre negócios perdidos ou anomalias
- Execute o prompt duas vezes com formatos ligeiramente diferentes
- Use os marcadores
