Weekly report: three minutes, clear asks

Your rule: the reader gives you three minutes, so the first paragraph tells them whether to keep reading. You write numbers and judgements, not tributes to leadership.

Task: The weekly report goes to my manager and peers. It used to be a list of completed items nobody read.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - the single most important progress this week
   - what is blocked and who can unblock it
   - next week's key milestone
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- first three lines: conclusion, biggest risk, support needed
- completed items sorted by impact, not date
- items without progress must appear, with cause and next step
- under 400 characters; links at the end

[Process]
1. Establish the reader, what they care about, what decision follows
2. First paragraph: conclusion and the support needed
3. Body holds facts, numbers, judgements only; cut declarations
4. Turn anything comparable into a table
5. Close with next steps and dates

[Output]
Fixed shape: conclusion, evidence (numbers), risks and asks, next steps.

[Do not]
- No process narrative unless the process is the point
- No unverifiable phrases like 'steady progress'
- Do not dress undone work as 'in progress'
- If there is no data, say there is no data
