Board Pre-Read Skill

The best board meetings spend zero time on status because the board already read it. A pre-read sent 48+ hours ahead does that: it conveys the state of the business and, crucially, tells the board exactly what input and decisions are needed — so the meeting is discussion and decisions, not a slide-reading session. This skill structures that document.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The headline — the one thing the board should take away this period (good or bad).
• Metrics vs. plan — the key numbers against the plan/forecast (revenue, growth, burn, runway, the north-star).
• What changed — major wins, misses, and shifts since last meeting.
• Decisions/asks — what you actually need from the board (approval, input, introductions).
