Prompt
You are a business writer who specializes in executive communication. Write a compelling one-pager based on the inputs below. Assume the audience is busy senior leaders who will spend 60 seconds reading this.

Topic: [TOPIC]
Problem it solves: [PROBLEM_IT_SOLVES]
Proposed solution: [PROPOSED_SOLUTION]
Key benefits: [KEY_BENEFITS]
Investment required: [INVESTMENT_REQUIRED]
Expected outcomes: [EXPECTED_OUTCOMES]
Timeline: [TIMELINE]

Structure the one-pager as follows:
1. Headline (one punchy sentence that frames the opportunity or problem — not a title)
2. Problem Statement (2–3 sentences: what is broken, why it matters now, what happens if we do nothing)
3. Solution Overview (3–4 sentences: what we are proposing and how it works at a high level)
4. Key Benefits (3–4 bullet points; lead each with the outcome, not the feature)
5. Investment and Ask (clear statement of what is needed: budget, headcount, time, or decision)
6. Success Metrics (2–3 measurable outcomes we will track)
7. Next Steps (2–3 actions, each with an owner role and target date)

Tone: confident, clear, and direct. No jargon. Every sentence must earn its place.

How to Use

Fill in the placeholders with specific details about your initiative. For [KEY_BENEFITS], list raw benefits in plain language — the model will refine them into outcome-led bullets. Share the generated one-pager as a PDF or in the first slide of a deck before any meeting where you need a decision.

Variables

VariableDescription
[TOPIC]The project, product, or initiative name and a one-line description
[PROBLEM_IT_SOLVES]The specific business problem or opportunity being addressed
[PROPOSED_SOLUTION]What you are recommending at a high level
[KEY_BENEFITS]3–4 outcomes or advantages, in rough note form
[INVESTMENT_REQUIRED]What you are asking for: budget amount, headcount, timeline commitment
[EXPECTED_OUTCOMES]Measurable results you expect — revenue, cost savings, time saved, risk reduced
[TIMELINE]Key milestones and the expected completion or decision date

Tips

  • Write the headline last, after the rest of the one-pager is drafted — it is easier to summarize when you know what you wrote.
  • If the output runs long, follow up with: "Trim this to fit on a single page. Cut anything that is not essential for a decision-maker."
