Why? o3 Mini high is capable of reasoning over the data. It will read the prompt and the attachments and take time to evaluate different paths for the output and can self-correct.

Prompt: "You are my CFO strategy consultant. I’m preparing for an upcoming board meeting. Here’s what you need to know: My updated Jan 2025 financials (attached) covering key metrics and changes since the last meeting. Transcript of Q4 board meeting (attached). The board members are: Wouter and Michael. From our team participated: Me: John and our CTO: Jack


Your tasks: Summarize the top 3–5 concerns raised by each board member in the transcript. Based on these concerns and my updated financial data, predict 2–3 questions each member is likely to ask at the next meeting. Provide concise, data-driven responses for each predicted question, referencing any relevant metrics, new developments, or risk mitigations. Format your output as an executive report, that is easily readable, no need to include references. Flag any areas where we might need additional data or clarifications before the meeting.”
