What to give it

▸Company name and stage — Seed / Series A / Series B / etc.

▸Period covered — month or quarter

▸Key metrics this period — revenue, MRR, users, churn, burn, runway — whatever's relevant

▸Biggest wins

▸Biggest challenges or misses

▸Specific asks from investors — intros, advice, talent, partnerships

▸What's coming next period

▸Tone — formal / conversational — most investors prefer conversational

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Opens with a specific highlight or honest framing (not a pleasantry)

✓Numbers include period-over-period comparison

✓Challenges section is present and honest

✓Asks are specific and actionable

✓Total length is skimmable in 3–4 minutes

✓No spin or buzzwords

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not omit challenges or bad news — sanitised updates erode investor trust faster than bad results do

Do not bury the lead — use BLUF structure and put the most important news in the first paragraph

Do not send an update without a clear "Ask" section — investors who want to help need to know how

Do not use buzzwords or spin — investors see hundreds of updates and will see through vague positive language

Do not report metrics without a comparison baseline — numbers without context (vs. last period or target) are meaningless
