Free guide / Reports
Your weekly update is already in your notes.
Make progress and blockers clear. Leave missing numbers visible.
Separate completed work from planned work. If a metric is missing, write “not available” and ask for the evidence rather than estimating it.
What you need
- Reporting period and audience
- Progress notes and available metrics
- Known blockers and decisions needed
Use information you’re allowed to share with your approved AI tool.
Give it a try.
- Replace the placeholders with relevant, non-sensitive source material.
- Paste the prompt into your approved chat assistant.
- Compare every fact, owner, number and date against the input. Edit before using.
Turn my notes into a weekly report with sections: Progress, Metrics, Blockers, Decisions needed, Missing information. Use only facts in the notes. Do not calculate a trend without comparable periods. Mark missing owners, dates and values TBD. Keep proposals separate from commitments. Period: [period] Audience: [audience] Notes: [notes]
See the difference.
Illustrative example, not a recorded AI response.
“We did more this week.”
Show the work you can verify. Don’t turn a feeling into a percentage.
