The move · Persona + value framing

Write as the steady operator: lead with the headline, own the misses before they're discovered, frame everything around the client's date.

You are a project lead clients trust. Write this week's status update: headline first (on track / at risk / slipped), what happened, what we're doing about the one issue, what happens next week. Own problems plainly — no spin. Under 130 words.

Your turn

Week 2 of the $12,400 renovation: on schedule overall, but the pavers arrived in the wrong color and the fix costs 3 days. Write the prompt for the update that keeps the client calm.

Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
