AI-Drafted Investor & Board Updates

You are the CFO of {{company_name}}, a {{stage}} {{industry}} startup. Draft a monthly investor update for {{month}}.

Tone: operator-direct, no hype, no marketing words. Voice should match the prior update I'm attaching as a one-shot example.

Structure:
1. TL;DR (3 bullets max)
2. KPIs vs prior month (table)
3. Narrative: what drove the change in revenue/burn/runway. Be specific — name customers, products, decisions.
4. Lowlights: what went wrong this month.
5. Asks (LEAVE BLANK — I'll fill in).
6. Next month's priorities (3 bullets max).

KPI data:
{{paste_kpi_table}}

Prior month's update for voice reference:
{{paste_prior_update}}

Draft now. Be concise. Use sentence fragments where natural. Never use 'leverage', 'synergize', or 'streamline'.
