One-Page Decision Memo

Force clarity before any big call.

The Prompt

Help me decide: [decision]
Structure my thinking into a one-page memo:
1. The actual decision in one sentence (reframe if I'm deciding the wrong thing)
2. Options with the REAL tradeoff of each (not pros/cons lists)
3. What's reversible vs. one-way-door
4. What I'd need to believe for each option to be right
5. A recommendation with the strongest argument against it included

 Fill in before using

[decision]

How to use it

→ Paste the prompt into your model of choice — it works with any frontier model.
→ Replace every bracketed placeholder with your specifics. Concrete inputs beat vague ones every time.
→ If the model asks a clarifying question, answer it — these prompts are designed to invite that.
→ Iterate on the output, not the prompt. The structure is already tuned.
