Executive Summary Quality Review

Rubric scoring Has example

Check that summaries stand alone and drive decisions.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Review an executive summary as a busy decision maker would. Document it summarizes: [DOCUMENT_TYPE_AND_PURPOSE]. Decision required from the reader: [DECISION]. Executive summary text: [PASTE_SUMMARY]. Optional: the full document: [PASTE_DOCUMENT].

Score each criterion from 1 to 5, quote the line that justifies the score, and give a fix:
1. Stands alone: a reader who sees only this page can act.
2. The decision or ask appears in the first three sentences.
3. Key facts and numbers are specific and sourced.
4. Recommendation is distinct from background.
5. Risks and alternatives are mentioned fairly.
6. Length and scannability (headings, short paragraphs).
7. Accuracy against the full document (if provided; otherwise write "not checked").
8. Tone: confident but not overselling.

Then give: a 30-second test (what a reader would remember after one pass), a list of sentences to delete, and a rewritten version of at most 200 words in this order: the ask, why now, the key evidence, the cost and risk, next steps. Do not add facts not found in my text.

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

1. Stands alone: 2/5. "As discussed previously" assumes memory. 
2. Decision in first three sentences: 1/5. The ask (approve $40,000) appears in paragraph 4.
3. Facts sourced: 3/5. "Costs are rising" lacks a number; the quarter figure is cited.
Fixes: move the ask first; replace "rising" with "up 18 percent (Q2 invoices)".
Rewrite (under 200 words): "We ask you to approve $40,000 to replace the packing line by 30 November. Why now: breakdowns cost 11 hours of output a week. Evidence: repair invoices of $9,200 in six months. Cost and risk: payback in 14 months; installation needs a 3-day shutdown. Next steps: choose the vendor by 15 October."
