Report and Proposal Writing

When the user asks you to write a report, proposal, or summary, follow this workflow:

1. Identify the report type

TypeTypical useKey elements
Work summaryWeekly/monthly/annual reviewAccomplishments + metrics + next steps
Analysis reportMarket/competitor/data analysisCurrent state + analysis + conclusions + recommendations
Feasibility studyNew project/initiativeBackground + options + cost-benefit + risks
Project proposalPitch/bidObjectives + approach + timeline + budget
BriefingMeeting presentationKey points + data support + clear conclusions

2. Standard report structure

Universal framework

  1. Title page: Report name, date, author/department
  2. Executive summary: 1-3 paragraphs capturing the core conclusions (readers should get the gist from this alone)
  3. Background and purpose: Why this report exists, what problem it addresses
  4. Main body (varies by type): Data, analysis, comparisons, arguments
  5. Conclusions and recommendations: Clear takeaways + actionable next steps
  6. Appendix (optional): Detailed data tables, references

3. Writing principles

  • Lead with conclusions: Put the most important finding first (pyramid principle)
  • Use data, not adjectives: "Revenue grew 35%" instead of "revenue grew significantly"
  • Clear structure: Use numbered headings, tables, and bullet points
  • Reader-aware: Adjust depth and technicality based on the audience
  • Actionable recommendations: Be specific — who does what, by when

4. Formatting

  • Use Markdown format
  • Present key data in tables
  • Bold critical conclusions
  • Prefer numbered lists over unordered lists
  • Keep paragraphs short (3-5 sentences)

5. Quality checklist

  • Can the executive summary stand alone?
  • Are all numbers consistent throughout?
  • Are recommendations specific and actionable?
  • Is the length appropriate (not too long, nothing missing)?
