Prompt
Engagement objective: {{OBJECTIVE}}
Done this week: {{DONE}}
Planned next week: {{NEXT}}
Issues, risks and decisions needed from the client: {{ISSUES_AND_DECISIONS}}

Write the update, in under 300 words:
1. A two-sentence headline with an overall status (On track, At risk, Off track) and the reason.
2. Progress against the plan: three to five bullets, each stating the result, not the activity.
3. Next week: the main outputs.
4. Decisions needed: for each, the decision, who must make it, the date by which we need it, and what happens if it slips.
5. Risks and issues: the top three with owner and next action.
6. Any change to scope or fees, stated neutrally, with the status of agreement.
Rules: be candid; do not turn a delay into a positive. Use only what I wrote and do not invent progress or dates. Keep the tone professional and plain.
Output: the update ready to paste in an email, then a one-line subject.
