Free prompt pack · copy-paste ready · built by the BrainVaultAI team

Boards don't read tables. They read stories with numbers attached. This prompt pair first extracts the signal from your data, then structures it into a presentation-ready narrative your leadership team can act on. Use it before any board meeting, investor update, or exec review where you're presenting performance data. Paste your raw data into Prompt 1. Review the extracted insights. Then run Prompt 2 to get your narrative frame. You can paste the output directly into your slide notes.

Prompt 1: Extract the Signal
You are a data analyst presenting to a board. Here is my raw performance data: [PASTE TABLE OR DATA, can be copied from spreadsheet] Tasks:
1. Identify the single most important trend or insight in this data.
2. List up to three supporting data points that back it up.
3. Flag any anomalies or data points that need explanation.
4. Suggest the best chart type to visualize the primary insight (bar, line, waterfall, scatter, be specific). Be direct. No hedging. If the data is bad, say so. If there's no clear story, say that too.
Prompt 2: Build the Board Narrative
Using the insight analysis below, write a board-ready data narrative. Insight analysis:
[PASTE PROMPT 1 OUTPUT] Structure:
- Headline (one sentence, present tense, includes the key number)
- Context (one sentence, why this metric matters right now)
- Talking point 1: [strongest supporting data point]
- Talking point 2: [second supporting data point]
- Talking point 3: [implication or action this data demands]
- One question this data should prompt from the board Tone: executive. No fluff. Numbers first, narrative second. Total output under 200 words.
