The prompt

I have a short meeting with an advisor, mentor or investor. Help me prepare so we spend the time on what matters.

Context:
- Who I am meeting and their expertise: [describe]
- My company or situation in 3 sentences: [describe]
- The decision or problem I face: [describe]
- What I have already tried or considered: [describe]

Tasks:
1. Turn my situation into one clear question this person is uniquely suited to answer.
2. Draft a one-page brief: context, the decision, options I see, evidence so far, and the specific help I want.
3. Suggest 3 follow-up questions that go deeper than generic advice.
4. Tell me what to leave out so the meeting does not become a status update.

Output: the question, the one-page brief, and the follow-ups.
