What AI does well here
- Identify which KPIs improved, slipped, or held flat.
- Draft a 4-paragraph update: highlights, lowlights, asks, runway.
- Suggest one chart worth including.
What AI cannot do
- Know what investors heard in the last call.
- Decide how candid to be about a miss.
- Replace founder voice in the closing line.
