  • {{stakeholders}}: Who will receive the reports and their information needs.

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.

  5. Provide a sample report structure tailored to the stakeholders' needs.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific data or metrics; use placeholders where actual data is needed.
  • Flag any assumptions about the data sources or tools.
  • Stay focused on the automation process, not on financial advice.

Example Data sources: QuickBooks, Salesforce; Report frequency: Monthly; Report format: PDF; Stakeholders: Management team.
