I read a lot of dense PDFs. This gets me the signal in two minutes instead of forty.

The workflow
- Upload the PDF to Claude
- Ask for a one-page brief with key numbers
- Request a short list of risks and open questions
- Save the brief next to the source
Result: A one-pager you can actually act on.
The prompt
Summarise this document into one page: the thesis, the 5 key data points, the main risks, and 3 questions I should ask. Be concrete.
