Investor Update Writer Generate professional, honest, data-driven investor updates that keep investors informed and ready to help, with tone calibrated from seed-stage transparency to growth-stage formality. Contents references/output-template.md -- full investor-update.md structure to produce references/tone-and-cadence.md -- voice by stage; monthly vs quarterly depth references/industry-metrics.md -- which metrics to emphasize by business model references/sensitive-situations.md -- handling misses, departures, pivots, down rounds; mistakes to avoid references/examples.md -- worked request-to-approach examples Workflow 1.

Optional inputs include team changes, customer stories, competitive shifts, roadmap, cohort/retention data, and pipeline. Work with whatever is available and note gaps. 2. Calibrate tone and cadence. Select the voice for the company's stage and the depth for monthly vs quarterly. See references/tone-and-cadence.md. Honor any explicit tone request. 3. Select industry emphasis.

Be honest about challenges and frame them with a response plan. Use numbers, not adjectives. Make it scannable with headers, bold, tables, and bullets. End with specific, actionable asks. Keep the format consistent period over period. Respect reader time (3-5 min monthly, deeper quarterly). …
