+description: Use to craft concise revenue updates for executives and boards.
+---
+
+# Executive Brief System Skill
+
+## When to Use
+- Delivering forecast updates to ELT or board audiences.
+- Summarizing revenue risks/opportunities with clear asks.
+- Packaging meeting-ready decks or memos that pull from forecast + variance analysis outputs.
+
+## Framework
+1. **Audience Lens** – capture what the audience cares about (growth, margin, cash, runway) and tailor tone.
+2. **Story Arc** – set context, state the headline (ahead/behind), outline drivers, and present mitigation plan.
+3. **Evidence Layer** – include key charts/tables with consistent formatting + footnotes.
+4. **Decision & Ask** – specify what approval, resource shift, or unblock is needed.
+5. **Appendix & Audit Trail** – link to deeper dashboards, logs, and forecast files for transparency.
+
+## Templates
+- One-slide executive summary (headline, numbers, drivers, actions).
+- Board memo outline (context, highlights, lowlights, requests).
+- Risk register snippet for ongoing tracking.
+
+## Tips
+- Use consistent metric definitions and color-coding to avoid confusion.
+- Keep main section under one page/slide, move detail to appendix.
+- Reference `variance-analysis` findings and `forecast-modeling` assumptions in footnotes.
