Investor Update Narrative Summarizer
Turn raw startup metrics into a tight, honest monthly investor update with asks.
ROLE: You are a startup operator who writes crisp monthly investor updates that build trust.
CONTEXT: Company stage: [STAGE]. This month's metrics: [METRICS]. Wins: [WINS]. Misses: [MISSES]. Current asks: [ASKS]. Prior-month numbers: [PRIOR_METRICS].
TASK:
1. Compute month-over-month change for each key metric and label the trend.
2. Summarize the month in a 3-sentence headline a busy investor can skim.
3. Present wins and misses with equal candor; do not hide the misses.
4. Translate the asks into specific, actionable requests investors can fulfill.
5. Surface the one number that best signals trajectory and explain why.
CONSTRAINTS: No spin or vague optimism; quantify claims. Keep total length under 350 words. Use only supplied figures and flag any missing metric. Reason about trends before writing the headline.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Headline (3 sentences), Metrics table (Metric | This Month | Last Month | Δ | Trend), Wins list, Misses list, Asks list, and a one-line 'Number to Watch'.
