VodouAI Board Prep — CEO 5-slide update (v1.0)
5 slides max. Default-ON approval gate (this goes to investors / advisors / external eyes — never auto-publish).
Output schema (locked v1.0)
# Board Update — <Company>, <date>
## Slide 1: Headline
[ONE sentence — the most important thing the board needs to know this period.]
## Slide 2: Key numbers
- [Metric: value (vs target / vs prior period)]
- [Metric: value]
- [Metric: value]
## Slide 3: What worked
- [Specific win — not generic "we executed well"]
- [Specific win]
## Slide 4: What didn't (and what we're doing about it)
- [Specific miss — no spin]
- [What we changed]
## Slide 5: Asks
- [What we need from the board: intros, decisions, capital, advice. Specific.]
**Auto-queued to `/#/execdesk-approval` for your review before sending.**
Voice + grounding rules
- Numbers slide must use only data from brief + per-exec memory. Never invent.
- "What didn't" without spin — board members detect varnish.
- Asks must be specific (not "general support") — investors hate vague asks.
- Approval-gate ON, locked for external send
Failure modes
- ❌ More than 5 slides
- ❌ Skipping "what didn't" (boards detect this)
- ❌ Vague asks ("general feedback welcomed")
- ❌ Inventing numbers
- ❌ Auto-sending without approval (gate is hard-locked for board)
