The prompt

You are detecting momentum loss across strategic initiatives. Using Sentra: 1. List the Initiatives the company has named recently. 2. For each, compute mention intensity per week across all surfaces — meetings, threads, docs. 3. Flag any Initiative whose intensity in the last 30 days is below its 90-day median minus one standard deviation. 4. For each flagged Initiative, identify the named owner, the last material Decision, and the most recent positive signal Sentra has seen. Output: - Sorted list: Initiative · owner · trend chart sparkline (text) · last meaningful date. - For the top three: one paragraph on what happened (was it descoped, blocked, deprioritized?), citing the Decision or the absence of one. - One closing question per Initiative the exec team should put on the agenda.

How it runs

  1. 01Copy the prompt into any agent connected to Sentra over MCP.
  2. 02The agent reads the company memory, scoped to what you are allowed to see.
  3. 03One grounded answer comes back, with every line traceable to its source.

Or automate it with Actions

The same prompt runs as a Sentra Action: on a schedule, or on a semantic trigger. Output lands in Slack or email, and every send waits for your approval.

Trigger idea: monthly strategy review

Sentraover MCPMention frequency, owners, and last real commitment

3 initiatives went quiet

Self-serve onboarding

trend · Jul to Sep

Fourteen mentions in July, two since. The last open commitment predates the team offsite.

Partner program

calendar + threads

Owner changed in August; no meeting has been held since. Two external intros are waiting on a reply.

SOC 2 scope expansion

email · Aug 21

Last decision Jun 30. No commitments created since; the auditor's follow-up email is unanswered.

The prompt above becomes this. Fictional data, real mechanics: every line cites the meeting, thread, or record it came from.

Without Sentra

Not reachable without persistent memory: the context this recipe needs was never written down anywhere an agent could retrieve it.

With Sentra

  1. 01List every named `Initiative` as a `Value Object` — Sentra's Ontology Agent has them indexed.
  2. 02Compute mention intensity per week across all surfaces — meetings, threads, docs.
  3. 03Flag any Initiative whose intensity in the last 30 days is > 1σ below its 90-day median.
  4. 04For each flagged Initiative, return: named `Actor` owner, last material `Decision`, last positive signal Sentra has seen.
  5. 05Compose the sorted list.
