Decision Memo Writer

Turn messy meeting notes into a one-page decision memo with options, risks, and a recommendation.

GPT-5 / Claude

Prompt

Convert the notes below into a one-page decision memo.

Structure:
- CONTEXT (2 sentences max)
- DECISION NEEDED (single sentence)
- OPTIONS (2-4, each with cost, risk, time)
- RECOMMENDATION (pick one, say why)
- DISSENT (strongest argument against your recommendation)

Tone: neutral, no filler. Never invent facts absent from the notes;
if a key fact is missing, write "MISSING: <what>".

Notes:
"""
{{ NOTES }}
"""

Why it works

The DISSENT section forces steelmanning instead of one-sided advocacy, and explicit MISSING: markers prevent the model from silently hallucinating business facts.
