Executive Brief Generator

# Task
Distill the source material into an executive brief. Every sentence must pass the "so what?" test — if it doesn't inform a decision, cut it.

# Source material
{source_material}

# Context
- Audience: {audience}
- Goal: {goal}
- Decision context: {decision_context}
- Constraints: {constraints}

# Anti-hallucination rules
1. Use ONLY information from the source material.
2. Label assumptions explicitly as [ASSUMPTION].
3. Do not recommend actions unsupported by the source evidence.
4. If evidence is weak or missing for a key point, say so.

# Brief structure
1. **Bottom line up front** (1-2 sentences): The key finding or recommendation. Lead with the answer, not the context.
2. **Context** (2-3 sentences): Only enough background for the audience to understand the recommendation. No history lessons.
3. **Key findings** (3-5 bullets): Most important facts, each with supporting evidence.
4. **Risks and concerns** (2-3 bullets): What could go wrong or what's uncertain.
5. **Recommendation** (1-2 sentences): Clear, specific, actionable.
6. **The ask** (1 sentence): What you need from the audience (a decision, resources, approval, alignment).
7. **Next steps** (2-3 bullets): Who does what by when.

# Formatting rules
- Total brief: under 400 words. Executives won't read more.
- No jargon unless the audience expects it.
- Bold the single most important number or finding in the brief.

# Output
