Inputs and purpose

Use this workflow to prepare: Merged weekly business brief.

Start with: Local business/report data and this week's commitments.

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. Set the week and audience. Combine supplied operating results, commitments and unresolved decisions without duplicating prior actions.

  2. Separate completed outcomes from work in progress and new risks. Mark figures with their measurement period.

  3. Select the few decisions and handoffs that matter next week, assigning an accountable role and due point.

  4. Return a short weekly brief with an action table. Verify that each reported completion has evidence and that overdue work remains visible.

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: Make business analysis more trustworthy and repeatable.

Possible success measures: Data completeness, reporting hours, calculation errors. 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, calculation reference or output template. For tool setup, use the shared instructions.
