Tactical Example: Find the decision hidden in the monthly briefing
Field | Detail |
Problem | Decisions are slowed by inconsistent briefing material. |
Outcome | A repeatable brief with reliable evidence and visible uncertainty. |
Context | Named current sources, decision criteria and accountable reviewers. |
Habit | Test the brief against the source pack and one contrary case before relying on it. |
Shift | Connect current evidence to the decision, challenge the explanation and make the pattern reusable. |
Prompt | Here is the problem: Decisions are slowed by inconsistent briefing material. The outcome we need is: A repeatable brief with reliable evidence and visible uncertainty. Use this context: [insert the relevant evidence and constraints]. Ask me what is missing. Connect current evidence to the decision, challenge the explanation and make the pattern reusable. Separate evidence from interpretation and help me decide what to check before acting. |
Strategic Example: Reassess an investment as the evidence changes
Field | Detail |
Problem | A recurring investment review keeps repeating last month’s explanation. |
Outcome | A repeatable comparison of strategic options that makes changed evidence and judgement visible. |
Context | A curated source pack, investment criteria, past decisions and new customer or market evidence. |
Habit | Reuse the review pattern with a changed or contrary case. Check that it challenges the decision rather than reproducing the last answer. |
Shift | Compare competing explanations and challenge whether the original investment case still holds. |
Prompt | Use these named sources and our previous decision: [context]. What has changed? Give the strongest case for continuing, changing course and stopping. Show the source for each material claim, identify missing evidence and ask me which trade-off matters most. Do not treat the previous decision as proof that it was right. |
