## Required seven-slide story

1. Title - "Aurora Q2 2026 Board Update" with subtitle "Momentum up. Burn down. Focus next."
2. Executive summary - three message headlines plus the two board decisions.
3. Traction - chart the January-June MRR and ending-customer series. Call out January-June MRR growth.
4. Unit economics and cash - show ARPA, gross margin, net cash flow, ending cash, and June runway. Make the improvement and remaining constraint obvious.
5. Growth health - compare new and churned customers by month. Call out June net adds.
6. 90-day roadmap - July pricing test (Maya / Finance / target +3% ARPA while churn is at or below 4%); August onboarding automation (Leo / Product / time-to-value below one day); September enterprise security pack (Nina / Engineering / close two enterprise pilots).
7. Decisions and watchouts - Decision 1: approve a $40,000 brand experiment gated by CAC at or below $750. Decision 2: authorize two AE hires starting in September only if August MRR reaches $100,000. Watchouts: churn peaked at six in May, payroll rose 22% from January to June, and cash is still declining. Maintain at least 12 months of runway.
