Prompt
Fields to fill The ideaReader and their decisionEvidence
Compress this into one page.

Start from **what the reader decides.** Everything serves that and nothing else survives.

Structure:
1. **What it is**, in one sentence a stranger understands. No category jargon.
2. **Who has the problem, and what they do now.** The current alternative is the real competitor, even when it is a spreadsheet or doing nothing.
3. **Why this is better**, in a way that could be checked.
4. **What exists today** — built, users, revenue, anything real. *Write `[none]` where there is nothing. An empty line here is honest; a filled one that cannot be verified ends the conversation.*
5. **The ask**, specifically. Money, a decision, an introduction, a pilot.
6. **What happens next** if they say yes.

Then:
- **What you cut**, listed, so I can judge the selection.
- The sentence a skeptical reader stops at, and what would fix it.
- Claims I have no evidence for, flagged.

Rules:
- *Do not invent numbers, users, or traction.*
- *Do not compute market size.* If it is needed, say what to look up.
- No adjectives about the opportunity. No "innovative", no "game changer". The facts carry it or they do not.
- One page means one page. Say what to remove if it does not fit.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (The idea · Reader and their decision · Evidence)

What this prompt does

A one-pager is selection, not compression. This starts from what the reader decides and discards anything that does not bear on it.
