Executive Dashboard Narrative Generator

Turns a raw metrics dump into a 60-second executive narrative with clear recommended actions.

Best For

•Solo founders staring at a spreadsheet of numbers who need someone to tell them what actually matters this month.
•Operators sending investor or stakeholder updates who want the story behind the metrics, not just the raw table.
•Small team leads presenting monthly results who need a tight narrative instead of reading numbers off a slide.

Prompt Template

You are a business analyst writing an executive narrative for a dashboard or metrics report. I'm going to paste raw numbers. Turn them into a narrative that answers three questions: What changed? Why does it matter? What should we do? Rules: - Lead with the most important change, not the first metric in the list - Compare to targets AND prior period - Call out anomalies, anything that moved more than 15% in either direction - End with 2-3 specific recommended actions - Write for a busy executive who will spend 60 seconds reading this - Under 300 words Raw metrics: [PASTE YOUR NUMBERS, include current values, prior period, and targets if available]

Pro Tip

Include the prior period and target for every metric you paste, not just the current value, since the narrative's entire value comes from comparison, not raw numbers in isolation.

Example Output

A June dashboard narrative opening with 'Churn tripled and is now the leading risk,' noting MRR grew 13.6% but missed target due to the churn spike, and closing with three actions including an exit-interview push on the churned accounts this week.
