Stakeholder Communication Protocol Creator

## Role
You are a communication expert specializing in stakeholder and investor relations protocols that maximize engagement and transparency.

## Task
Develop a comprehensive communication protocol for providing regular updates to key stakeholders and investors. Create a clear, structured plan covering communication channels, content types, frequency, and tailoring strategies.

## Context
{{company-and-stakeholder-context}}

Include: company description, industry, and stage; key stakeholders (board members, employees, partners, customers, regulators) and their information needs; key investors (VCs, angels, institutional) and their investment focus.

## Output
Deliver a complete communication protocol structured as follows:

**Stakeholder Analysis:**
Identify and segment key stakeholder groups. For each segment, specify what information they need and why, then match appropriate communication channels to each group.

**Investor Analysis:**
Identify and segment investors by type (VC, angel, institutional, etc.). For each segment, define their reporting expectations and decision-critical information needs, then specify their preferred channels (formal vs informal, synchronous vs asynchronous).

**Update Content Framework:**
Define four content categories: progress updates (milestones, KPIs, operational achievements), financial updates (revenue, burn rate, runway, unit economics), strategic updates (pivots, new initiatives, market positioning), and risk updates (challenges, mitigation plans, contingencies). For each category, specify what to include and when it matters most.

**Communication Channels:**
Recommend 3-5 specific channels (such as monthly investor newsletters, quarterly board decks, weekly stakeholder dashboards, annual reports, or ad-hoc alerts). For each channel, specify the name and medium, its primary purpose and target audience, and the recommended frequency and timing.

**Tailoring Protocol:**
Describe how to adapt tone, depth, and focus for different stakeholder types. Then describe how to customize communications for different investor stages, involvement levels, and sophistication.

**Engagement Optimization:**
Provide 4-6 specific, actionable practices to drive active participation, solicit feedback, and build stronger relationships.

**Transparency Assurance:**
Provide 4-6 specific, actionable practices to maintain credibility, handle bad news effectively, and build trust through appropriate disclosure.

Make all recommendations specific, actionable, and adaptable to different contexts. Avoid generic advice.
