2. Headline & Status – articulate deal stage, confidence, and key wins/risks.
3. Value Story – highlight quantified impact + proof tied to executive objectives.
4. Decision & Ask – specify approvals, resources, or unblockers required.
5. Action & Follow-up – capture owners, due dates, and communication plan.
