Decision Evidence Brief
Answer a specific decision question with a weighted, confidence-rated evidence brief: a planner frames the decision and the options, locks the evidence criteria and a confidence scale, a researcher gathers evidence for and against each option and rates the strength of each piece, and a copywriter writes a decision-oriented brief that states a recommendation with explicit confidence levels and the key uncertainties. The ordering matters because evidence gathered before framing the decision is unfocused and a recommendation without a confidence scale hides how strong the case really is; fixing the question, the options, and a confidence rubric first produces an honest, decision-ready brief. Use this for evidence-based decision support, 'what does the evidence say we should do about X', recommendation memos, weighing options with confidence levels, and policy/strategy briefs grounded in sources.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frame the decision | Planner | decision question, options, evidence + confidence rubric |
| 2 | Gather & rate evidence | Researcher | evidence for/against each option, strength-rated + cited |
| 3 | Write the brief | Copywriter | recommendation with confidence + key uncertainties |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
