Board Meeting Prep (board-prep)
Preps you for the adversarial version of your board — numbers cold, hard questions anticipated, and a narrative that owns the bad news.

What it does
This skill turns Claude into a prep coach for high-stakes reviews: board meetings, investor updates, and fundraising presentations.
- Numbers cold: a checklist of metrics you must recall without the slide — MRR/ARR and MoM growth, burn and runway, headcount by department, CAC/LTV by channel, NRR, pipeline conversion, churn by segment, margins.
- Adversarial question generation: for each agenda item it produces the hardest version of the question across revenue misses, runway, roadmap slips, attrition risk, and a newly funded competitor.
- Narrative structure: a five-part arc — where we are (honest), what we learned, what we got wrong, what we're doing, what we need from this room.
- Mock board simulation: role-play the toughest director, then flag every question that made you hesitate or get defensive.
- Timed checklists: 48 hours before, day of, and within 24 hours after the meeting.
Who it's for
- Startup founders and CEOs heading into a quarterly board meeting
- CFOs and strategy leads writing investor updates or raise materials
- Executives facing an internal leadership or parent-company review
- Chiefs of staff building expected Q&A and briefing notes for the CEO
Examples
- Missed quarter: run
/em:board-prep Q3 revenue 20% below planto get questions that split the miss into pipeline vs. conversion vs. capacity, plus a five-sentence pre-read email so the board isn't surprised. - Runway scenarios: share your burn and cash, and it rehearses answers to "what if the next round takes nine months?" and "what do you cut first to extend six months?".
- Adversarial rehearsal: ask Claude to play your most skeptical independent director for 20 minutes, then compile the list of answers that wobbled into a re-prep plan.
