decision-brief

Purpose

Build a lightweight decision snapshot from mixed business context, ticket history, and evidence.

Use For

• Lightweight decision support
• Recommendation requests
• Turning debate and evidence into a clear next step

Inputs

• Notes or context thread
• Ticket or project context
• Supporting evidence
• Hex or other data output

Guardrails

• Read before write.
• Treat analytics outputs as evidence, not as a separate analytics workflow.
• Separate source-backed evidence from assumptions.
• Make trade-offs and reversal cost visible.
• Surface source gaps and uncertainty.

Shared Output Expectations

When context is messy or multi-source, include only the useful subset of:

• Source-backed facts
• Assumptions
• Source gaps
• Stakeholder sensitivities
• Potential misread
• Suggested next response or next action

Do not include every field mechanically. Use the smallest useful output.

Output

• Recommendation
• Decision needed
• Options
• Trade-offs
• Evidence
• Risks
• Reversal cost
• Next step

Success Standard

The snapshot should help someone make or frame a decision within 5 minutes.
