# Executive summary — [document title]

> Target: ≤200 words / 90-second read. Standalone test: correct decision possible WITHOUT the full doc.

**Ask:** [what the reader must decide/approve/do — and by when]

**Bottom line:** [the document's conclusion in 1-2 sentences, with the decisive number + baseline]

**Why we're confident:** [2-3 sentences: the strongest evidence, one clause on method]

**The material risk:** [the one thing that could invalidate this — with the mitigation or the monitoring]

**Cost of waiting:** [what deciding slowly loses — one sentence]

**Owner:** [name] · **Decision needed by:** [date] · **Full analysis:** [link, section-pointed: "pricing math in §3"]

---
*Pre-send checks: conclusion before context? · both numbers have baselines? · zero new claims not in the doc? · could they decide without opening the link?*
