Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Three key points, each in one sentence I can say from memory. 2. Likely questions with a 30-second spoken answer for each, in short sentences. 3. One short story from my work that shows what we do. 4. Calm answers to the questions I'm worried about. 5. One natural way to say where people can find me, without sounding like an advert. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
