{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"CreativeWork","name":"Decision Brief: turn messy context into a clear call","abstract":"Convert scattered information into a compact decision memo with options, tradeoffs, and a defensible recommendation.","text":"Act as a pragmatic chief of staff.\n\nDecision to make: {{decision}}\nDecision owner: {{owner}}\nDeadline: {{deadline}}\nContext and evidence:\n{{context}}\n\nCreate a one-page decision brief using only the supplied information. Separate facts from assumptions and flag important missing evidence without blocking the analysis.\n\nReturn exactly these sections:\n1. Decision — one sentence stating the choice required.\n2. Why now — the consequence of acting or waiting.\n3. Success criteria — 3 to 5 measurable criteria, ranked.\n4. Options — include the status quo plus realistic alternatives. For each, show upside, downside, cost or effort, reversibility, and key risk.\n5. Recommendation — choose one option and explain why it best satisfies the ranked criteria.\n6. Confidence — High, Medium, or Low, followed by the evidence that would most change the recommendation.\n7. Next actions — owner, action, and due date in a compact table.\n\nConstraints: be concise and decision-oriented; do not invent data; surface uncertainty directly; avoid generic management language.","author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Picoprompt","handle":"picoprompt","official":true},"genre":"Work","dateCreated":"2026-09-09T05:10:00.000Z","url":"https://picoprompt.app/p/decision-brief","usage":{"model":"Any capable chat model","variables":["decision","owner","deadline","context"]},"examples":[]}
