Compress a long report into what matters

Max Submitted by Max Added 99 days ago
Summarise the document below for {{role}} who needs to decide {{decision}}.

Give me:
1. THE ONE THING — if they read nothing else, this sentence.
2. WHAT IT SAYS — five bullets, each a claim with its supporting number or evidence from the document.
3. WHAT IT MEANS FOR US — three implications specific to our situation: {{context}}.
4. WHAT'S WEAK — where the document's evidence is thin, self-interested, or dated. Name the author's incentive if relevant.
5. WHAT'S MISSING — the question a careful reader would want answered that the document dodges.
6. QUOTES — the three passages worth reading in full, with page or section references.
7. VERDICT — read it fully, skim section X, or ignore.

Rules: no summary of the summary, no restating the table of contents, nothing not in the document. If the document mostly repeats itself, say that.

DOCUMENT:
{{paste}}

How to use it

Sections 4 and 5 are why this beats a plain summary — vendor whitepapers and analyst reports both have incentives.
