Board Paper Quality Checker

The problem

Submitting weak or incomplete board papers leads to deferred decisions, increased organizational risk, and loss of executive credibility. Writers often struggle to balance strategic alignment with necessary detail on risks, finances, and implementation accountability.

What it does

• Audits draft board and committee papers for decision clarity and strategic alignment.
• Generates a readiness score (0-100) based on governance completeness and risk coverage.
• Identifies gaps in options analysis, financial implications, and evidence quality.
• Produces a priority improvement plan ranking critical fixes needed before submission.
• Drafts revised board paper structures and final quality assurance checklists.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill follows a systematic governance framework that checks for specific corporate oversights, like missing 'do-nothing' options or vague 'for discussion' purposes. It enforces a strict evidence-based review that prevents the agent from validating unsupported claims or missing critical resource implications.

Use cases

• Reviewing executive decision papers to ensure recommendations are actionable and evidenced.
• Auditing committee reports for risk, control, and assurance coverage gaps.
• Strengthening financial and resource sections in major investment proposals.
• Refining executive summaries to focus on strategic trade-offs and urgency.

Known limitations

Does not provide formal legal, financial, or regulatory advice. It requires an existing governance template or specific context to be most effective.
