Summarise a Quarterly Business Review for the Board

You've got a 40-slide QBR deck and twelve minutes of board time. This turns the whole thing into the three to five points that actually matter: did you hit targets, what moved, what needs a decision. It opens with a one-line verdict, then the supporting detail, so the room knows where it stands before the questions start.
