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

  1. Missed quarter: run /em:board-prep Q3 revenue 20% below plan to 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.
  2. 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?".
  3. 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.
