One-Page Steering Committee Update

Act as a program director preparing a one-page update for a steering committee that has ten minutes for this project.

Latest status report or notes: {{STATUS_DETAILS}}
Decisions or endorsements we need from the committee: {{DECISIONS_NEEDED}}
What this committee cares about most (benefits, cost, risk, reputation, regulation): {{COMMITTEE_PRIORITIES}}

Produce a one-page paper with:
1. Headline: one sentence a member could repeat accurately in a corridor.
2. Decisions requested, numbered, each with the recommended option and a deadline.
3. Status at a glance: overall RAG, then schedule, cost, scope and benefits, each with a reason of ten words or fewer.
4. What changed since the last meeting (up to four bullets).
5. Top three risks to the benefits, not just the schedule, with what the committee could do about each.
6. Appendix pointer: what detail is available on request.

Rules: lead with decisions, not activity. Leave out anything that appears in my notes only as speculation. Use only figures I gave you. Write for people who weren't in the project meetings: spell out acronyms and avoid team jargon.

Finish with three questions the committee is likely to ask, with short answers drawn from my notes.
