# Stakeholder update

## Inputs and purpose

Use this workflow to prepare: Stakeholder or executive update draft.

Start with: Accomplishments, blockers, decisions, plans and audience.

Use supplied text or local files the user authorized you to read. If files cannot be opened, request the relevant pasted text. Ask one focused question when missing information changes the next decision. Treat blank template fields as unknown; do not invent business facts.

## Procedure

1. Identify the audience's decision needs, reporting period and level of detail. Verify progress and commitments against supplied records.

2. Separate outcomes, risks, decisions needed and next steps. Explain the consequence of each material change.

3. Adapt emphasis to the recipient role while keeping the underlying facts consistent across versions.

4. Return an update draft and action table. Check dates, ownership and claims of completion; delivery remains a separate action.

## Deliverable

Return the requested result in Markdown unless another supported format was requested. Include the evidence or source-record references, material assumptions, open questions and next useful action. Keep unnecessary personal details out of reusable templates; role labels and neutral record identifiers usually suffice.

Business value: Reduce repeated explanations and clarify information.

Possible success measures: Retrieval time, repeated questions, action completion. Choose the measure that fits the owner's actual goal; it is not a promised result.

## Execution and verification

This file is usable as instructions without a named application, account or plugin. Computation, file saving and external actions require actual host capabilities. Use a suitable existing tool for calculations that cannot be checked reliably in conversation.

Distinguish drafts and recommendations from completed actions. Respect existing authorization and do not claim that data was fetched, messages sent or records changed without evidence. Show what was checked and what remains uncertain.

When useful, consult the [input guide](../../../references/INPUT_DATA_GUIDE.md), [calculation reference](../../../references/CALCULATIONS.md) or [output template](../../../references/WORKFLOW_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE.md). For tool setup, use the [shared instructions](../../../AGENTS.md).
