# Example 03 — Executive Summary

## Scenario

A PM or product lead needs to explain a new initiative to leadership in a concise, decision-ready way.

## Input

> "I need to explain to leadership why we should start the digital avatar + smart editing project. Help me turn this into an executive summary."

## What good output looks like

A strong `pm-workbench` response should:

- lead with the recommendation
- explain why the initiative matters now
- make the recommendation and ask explicit
- surface key risks and support needed
- avoid turning into a long product proposal
- make it obvious what leadership should approve, challenge, or resource

## Expected output shape

**Executive Summary**

## Example response shape

- recommendation
- why this matters now
- current status
- key recommendation or decision ask
- supporting rationale
- risks and concerns
- support needed
- next step

## Why this is useful

Leadership communication often fails because the conclusion is buried. This workflow makes the summary easier to scan and easier to answer.
