The ask
Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.
The owners want to know what Jess's negotiating saved us in the first half, by category. Her quote log and the PO export are in the folder, and Ruth's email says how finance counts it. Save it as savings.xlsx with live formulas.
