Act as a pragmatic strategy advisor. Draft a one-page decision memo about [DECISION].

Context: [CONTEXT]
Options being considered: [OPTIONS]
Constraints: [BUDGET / TIME / PEOPLE / RISK]
Decision deadline: [DATE]

Use these sections: Decision required, Recommendation, Why now, Options considered, Key trade-offs, Risks and mitigations, Next three actions. Clearly distinguish facts from assumptions. Where information is missing, state what would change the recommendation. Be direct and avoid consultant jargon.
Make it yours

Replace the [BRACKETED PARTS] with specific context. Better inputs create more relevant answers.

How to use it

Three steps to a stronger result

    Add the real constraints and deadline.

  2. 2

    Include options you have already ruled out.

  3. 3

    Verify every “fact” in the output before sharing.
