I'm sharing a document with you. Act as an analyst and prepare an executive summary for someone who needs to understand it and decide in a few minutes. Document: """ [paste the text here or attach the file] """ Context: - What I'll use it for: [for example decide whether to sign, prepare for a meeting or study] - What I'm especially interested in: [topics, figures or specific questions] Task: 1. Main conclusion in one or two sentences: what matters most for my goal. 2. Summary in 5 bullets with the most important ideas. 3. Key data: figures, dates, deadlines, obligations and commitments, with the section or page where each one appears. 4. Risks, ambiguities, fine print and what the document doesn't clarify, quoting the critical sentences verbatim. 5. Answers to my specific questions, if I included any. 6. Recommended actions or questions to ask the author. Rules: - Use only information from the document; if something isn't there, say so instead of assuming. - Distinguish what the document says from your interpretation. - If the topic is legal, medical or financial, remind me that the summary doesn't replace professional advice.
