Frame
State the decision, audience, timeframe, leverage points, and required depth.
01 · Workflow
Brief the decision, not just the topic.
Begin with the decision context and a bounded source set. The model synthesizes what is provided; it should not silently fill gaps, smooth over uncertainty, or turn weak evidence into confident recommendations.
Source
Assemble a dated packet of trusted, reviewable material.
Synthesize
Extract converging facts, tensions, assumptions, risks, and implications.
Challenge
Verify citations and test the brief for omitted counterevidence.
02 · Prompt example
Structure for decision usefulness.
The prompt prevents a polished narrative from disguising weak evidence.
Decision-ready synthesis
Using only the supplied sources, draft: executive summary; established facts with citations; areas of source disagreement; implications for the stated decision; assumptions; open questions. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly.
Quality checklist
- Open and verify every cited source
- Separate fact from interpretation
- Add material counterevidence
- Remove confidence unsupported by evidence
03 · Example structure
A brief leaders can actually use.
| Section | Purpose | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Decision in view | Clarify what the reader must consider | One sentence, no hidden recommendation |
| What is established | Present supported facts | Citation attached to every material claim |
| What remains uncertain | Expose limitations and disagreement | No invented resolution |
| Questions before action | Focus further diligence | Owned and answerable |
04 · What's included
What this playbook includes.
A product-ready structure for AI-assisted executive briefing, decision support, and source-based evidence review.
| Component | Included detail | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Use case | AI-assisted decision briefing from approved sources | Convert source packets into reviewable briefs |
| Intended user | Strategy lead, executive support, procurement leadership | Support decision readiness |
| Required inputs | Decision context, approved sources, assumptions, audience | Prevent unsourced synthesis |
| Output artifacts | Executive summary, source map, open questions, diligence list | Make decision materials reusable |
| Review controls | Citation verification, counterevidence check, uncertainty review | Prevent polished but weak conclusions |
| Common failure modes | Hidden assumptions, omitted counterevidence, overconfident narrative | Keep judgment accountable |
| Related playbooks | Vendor evaluation, RFP, compliance, renewal | Connect decisions to source workflows |
05 · Guardrails
Polish never outranks evidence.
Bounded sources
The output states which materials were included and what was outside scope.
Citation verification
A human reviewer opens each source and confirms that it supports the claim.
Visible uncertainty
Conflicts, gaps, and assumptions remain explicit in the final brief.
