Summarise a Strategy Document for a Busy Board
You've a detailed strategy document and a board that will give it four minutes at most. This pulls out the three real bets, the financial assumptions underneath, and the risks, in a form a senior leader can absorb fast. You paste the document or its key sections. You get a board-ready summary that survives a skim, instead of a forty-page deck nobody finishes.

**Create the board summary:**
1. Identify the three strategic bets the document is making
2. Extract the key financial or operational assumptions underpinning each bet
3. Surface the top two risks the board should probe
4. Summarise the recommended decision or approval being sought
Work only from the content provided. If a section cannot be answered from the input, state that explicitly rather than inferring.
**Edge case:** if the document contains no explicit decision request, note that the board will need one before the session.
