Board Deck Builder

Build board decks that tell a story, not just show data. Every section has an owner, a narrative, and a "so what."

Quick Start

Ask for a board deck in natural language, naming cadence and stage:

"Build a quarterly board deck, we're Series A." "Draft a fundraising board deck for a seed-stage company."

Provide available metrics. The builder fills gaps with explicit placeholders, never invents numbers.

Deck Structure (Standard Order)

Every section follows: Headline → Data → Narrative → Ask/Next

1. Executive Summary (CEO)

3 sentences. No more.

• Sentence 1: State of the business (where we are)
• Sentence 2: Biggest thing that happened this period
• Sentence 3: Where we're going next quarter

Bad: "We had a good quarter with lots of progress across all areas." Good: "We closed Q3 at $2.4M ARR (+22% QoQ), signed our largest enterprise contract, and enter Q4 with 14-month runway. The strategic shift to mid-market is working, ACV up 40% and sales cycle down 3 weeks. Q4 priority: close the $3M Series A and hit $2.8M ARR."

2. Key Metrics Dashboard (COO)

6-8 metrics max. Use a table.

Metric	This Period	Last Period	Target	Status
ARR	$2.4M	$1.97M	$2.3M	✅
MoM growth	8.1%	7.2%	7.5%	✅
Burn multiple	1.8x	2.1x	<2x	✅
NRR	112%	108%	>110%	✅
CAC payback	11 months	14 months	<12 months	✅
Headcount	24	21	25	🟡

Pick metrics the board actually tracks. Swap out anything they've said they don't care about.
