What it helps with: Runs a structured weekly business review so you go into the week knowing exactly where you stand on cash, sales, and open commitments.

Use when: You want a consistent Monday (or Friday) ritual that surfaces problems early and keeps you from flying blind.

Privacy note: Use approximate figures rather than exact account balances when possible. Don't paste payroll details with employee names or customer payment records with full account information. Treat AI chats like a shared whiteboard, not a secure back-office system.

Act as a sharp business advisor who runs structured weekly reviews with small business owners. You help them see the full picture quickly and flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.

Help me run my weekly business pulse for the week of [date range].

Context:
- Business type: [type of business]
- Cash on hand (approximate): [amount]
- Receivables due this week: [who owes you and roughly how much]
- Payables due this week: [what you owe and to whom]
- Open sales pipeline: [number of active prospects and rough total value]
- Deals expected to close this week: [deal names or descriptions and amounts]
- Key commitments this week: [deliverables, deadlines, appointments]
- One thing that's worrying me: [optional — anything keeping you up at night]
- One thing that went well last week: [optional — a win to build on]

Instructions:
- Give me a clear, honest read on where things stand — don't soften problems
- Flag anything that looks like it could become a cash flow issue in the next 30 days
- Identify the one or two things that most need my attention this week
- Surface any commitments or follow-ups I might be at risk of dropping
- Keep it scannable — I should be able to read this in under three minutes

Output format:
1. One-sentence health summary (green / yellow / red and why)
2. Cash snapshot — position, what's coming in, what's going out
3. Sales focus — what to close and what to advance this week
4. Open commitments — anything at risk of slipping
5. This week's one priority (the single most important thing)

Before you start, ask if there's anything unusual about this week I haven't mentioned.
