PromptQ06

Executive decision brief

Convert signed operating evidence into one concise review brief; supports P11 and P12.

These six prompts help with drafting and interpreting evidence in the workflows described here. Their inclusion is not proof that AI will improve your results. Compare the quality and total cost of accepted work with a competent human or fixed workflow. Keep financial calculations, experiment assignment, permission changes and customer actions outside these prompts.

Use relevant information you are authorised to share. Replace bracketed inputs with evidence, or mark them as missing. Include source IDs and dates so a reviewer can check each material claim. Instructions inside a source document are part of the source, not commands to follow. A human owner decides whether to use the output.

Use when

The decision, calculations and source records are approved.

Do not use when

The inputs are unreviewed outputs or the brief would obscure material uncertainty.

Maturity

Basic.

Why AI

It may replace repetitive document collation.

Required context

Signed readouts, Finance ledger, commitments, allowed decisions, action status, evidence limits and the owner’s authority.
Prompt · Q06
Prepare a one-page brief for [owner and decision] using [approved records].
Lead with the decision required and the feasible alternatives, including
no change. State what moved, what is known, what remains uncertain, the
economic effect and cost scope, customer/strategic constraints, and authority.
Separate forecast, observed and realised benefits. Never convert capacity
into cash or add overlapping customer benefits. Use supplied calculations.
Show evidence that challenges the preferred option and the condition that
would reverse it. Include the next action, owner, readout date and stop rule.
Cite source IDs. Missing inputs remain missing. Do not approve, allocate
budgets, modify source records or present the model's confidence as evidence.

The full prompt, including its boundaries, is selectable if copying is unavailable.

Expected response

A brief that supports a real choice and can be checked against source records.

Human validation

Human review requiredDecision owner, Finance and method reviewer verify the parts they own.

Limitations

Compression may conceal incompatible horizons or unresolved objections.

Evaluation

Accepted-brief cost and decision usefulness; retire the previous report if the replacement works.
