Board Narrative Builder
Turn your board metrics into a narrative the market validates — your numbers, framed against where HG data says the category is actually heading.
Your board numbers, framed against where HG data says the market is heading
Your 118% NRR vs. HG: market
consolidating around fewer tools.
| Element | Source |
|---|---|
| ARR, NRR, pipeline | Your metrics |
| Consolidation trend | HG adoption data |
| Buyer sentiment | HG reviews |
Overview
Build a board-meeting narrative that weaves your supplied metrics into a market-grounded story — pairing your performance figures with HG market signals (category adoption, intent momentum) so the board sees not just what happened but whether it tracks the market — with explicit honesty about which numbers are yours vs. HG-sourced.
Use cases
Board narratives the market validates
Internal metrics alone invite skepticism. Framing them against independent HG market signals shows the board the strategy is working with the market, not against it.
Honest about what's measured vs. modeled
Clearly labeling user-supplied metrics versus HG-sourced market signals keeps the narrative credible — the board trusts a deck that's transparent about its sources.

# Board Narrative Builder
## Parameters
- `{{company_metrics}}` *(required)* — Your performance metrics for the period (ARR, growth, retention, pipeline). Example: `ARR $48M (+34% YoY), NRR 118%, pipeline $90M`
- `{{category}}` *(required)* — Your category, for market-trend grounding. Example: `data observability`
- `{{strategic_narrative}}` *(required)* — The story you want the board to take away. Example: `we're winning the consolidation wave in mid-market`
## Purpose
Build a board narrative around {{strategic_narrative}} that frames {{company_metrics}} against where the {{category}} market is heading per HG data — so the board sees the performance AND the market context that makes the strategy credible. Be explicit about which figures are user-supplied vs. HG-sourced.
## Process
1. **Anchor the metrics** — restate {{company_metrics}} as the period's performance facts (these are user-supplied; label them as such).
2. **Validate against the market** — `company_technographic` + `list_intent_topics` + `intent_category` to characterize whether the {{category}} is moving the way {{strategic_narrative}} claims.
3. **Market sentiment** — `get_product_reviews` for the buyer-sentiment trend that supports or complicates the narrative.
4. **Weave** — connect each performance metric to a market signal (e.g., '118% NRR while the market consolidates around fewer tools — we're the consolidation winner').
5. **Narrative** — an exec/board-grade narrative with a clear strategic throughline, labeling user-supplied vs. HG-sourced figures throughout.
## Output Format
Markdown with:
- `# Board Narrative — {{category}}`
- `## Performance` (your metrics, labeled user-supplied)
- `## Market Context` (HG signals, cited)
- `## The Throughline` ({{strategic_narrative}}, market-validated)
- `## Risks the Market Shows`
- `## Citations`
## Quality Checklist
- User-supplied metrics are clearly distinguished from HG-sourced signals
- Each market-context claim cites an HG tool
- The throughline is supported by both performance and market data, not asserted
- Market risks are surfaced honestly, not buried
