Tips for Best Results
- 1.Replace all [BRACKETS] with specific numbers from your business—boards reject generic projections. Use actual CAC, LTV, and conversion rates, not industry averages.
- 2.Request the AI to include 'board-level decisions needed' in each section. This shifts the presentation from reporting to action, which is what boards value most.
- 3.Ask for 3 financial scenarios (conservative/moderate/optimistic) with different assumptions stated explicitly. This shows risk awareness and strategic flexibility.
- 4.Have the AI create 'talking points' for each slide, not just bullet points. You'll deliver these verbally, so they need to sound conversational yet authoritative.
