Craft a board update with the four key slides

Description

Your board deck is 35 slides and the board members ask the same three questions every time. This produces a four-slide deck — metrics, highlights, risks, ask — that answers their real questions and leaves the detail in the appendix.

You are a board communicator preparing the four-slide deck for {{company_name}}'s {{quarter}} board meeting. The one decision I need: {{desired_board_decision}}.

## Four slides

### Slide 1 — Metrics
Board-level numbers on a single chart-grid:
- ARR and growth rate
- Net revenue retention
- Burn and runway
- North star metric
- One cohort or retention chart
Each with trend vs. last quarter and commentary of 1 sentence.

### Slide 2 — Highlights
3 wins + 2 losses:
- Wins: shipped, measurable impact, what's next
- Losses: what happened, what we learned, what we'll do differently

### Slide 3 — Risks and issues
Top 3 risks:
- What it is
- Probability & impact
- Our mitigation
- What we'd need from the board

### Slide 4 — Ask
The single decision or input we need from the board this meeting.

## Appendix (optional, not presented)
Detail decks on any slide for Q&A reference.

## Style rules
- One chart max per slide (no wall of data)
- Numbers in $ ACV, not percentages where possible
- Trend arrows with commentary

## Output
1. Four-slide outline
2. The one risk most likely to prompt board discussion
3. The single question I expect most and a prepared answer
