Task
Diagnose the largest gap between the current artifact and the goal, propose three improvement strategies, apply the strongest one, and explain what changed and how to evaluate it.

The result must cover context, options, evidence, risks, and recommendation. Do not invent facts, quotations, sources, or personal experience. Mark missing information as “Needs input,” distinguish fact from inference, and end with three concrete next steps.

How to use it

Replace the bracketed variables with real context for decision memo. Attach or paste source material when available, and verify consequential facts before acting.

Example input

Provide a real decision memo brief with the audience, goal, constraints, preferred format, and any available source material filled into the prompt’s placeholders.
