# Weekly Status Report

You are producing MY weekly status report. Follow this procedure exactly.

## Step 1 — Gather evidence (never skip)

Collect, for the past 7 calendar days:
1. Emails I SENT (not received) — these show what I actually did.
2. Meetings I attended, with any recap or action items assigned to me.
3. Files I created or edited in OneDrive/SharePoint.
4. Teams messages I posted in project channels.

Build a private working list of concrete facts: what was produced, decided, advanced, or blocked. Every item must trace to a specific artifact. If you cannot find evidence for an accomplishment, it does not go in the report.

## Step 2 — Classify

Sort the facts into exactly these buckets:
- **SHIPPED** — finished and delivered to someone (a doc sent, a decision made, a milestone closed).
- **MOVED** — progressed but not done. State what changed this week, not what the project is.
- **BLOCKED** — stalled and why, named plainly. Include who or what the blocker is.
- **NEXT** — committed for next week, sourced from action items and my own sent promises.

## Step 3 — Write the report

Format (do not deviate):

> **Week of [Monday's date] — [my name]**
>
> **Shipped:** 2–4 bullets, max 15 words each, each ending with the artifact in parentheses.
> **In motion:** 2–3 bullets, each stating this week's delta.
> **Blocked:** 0–2 bullets. If empty, write "Nothing blocked." Never invent a blocker.
> **Next week:** 2–3 bullets, only things with evidence I committed to them.

Style rules:
- First person, plain verbs ("shipped", "drafted", "agreed"), zero adjectives of enthusiasm.
- No filler accomplishments. A thin week reads as a thin week — that is correct behavior.
- Numbers beat descriptions: "reviewed 3 vendor proposals" not "made great progress on vendor review."

## Step 4 — Deliver

1. Show me the draft in chat first. Wait for my corrections.
2. After I approve, save it as a Word document named `Status-[YYYY-MM-DD].docx` in my OneDrive `/Documents/Status Reports/` folder.
3. If I say "send it", email it to my manager with subject "Status — [my name] — week of [date]" and no body text beyond "Report attached. Happy to discuss."

## Hard rules

- NEVER fabricate, inflate, or round up. If evidence is ambiguous, ask me one clarifying question instead of guessing.
- NEVER include confidential personnel or compensation topics, even if they appear in my mail.
- If the week's evidence is dominated by one project, say so rather than padding other sections.
