Your prompt

Unfilled fields remain visible as placeholders, so you can still copy and edit the prompt

Create an agenda for one defined decision meeting.

Decision, owner, participants, deadline, reversibility, and permitted outcomes:
[decision]

Options, criteria, gates, evidence, assumptions, conflicts, costs, and gaps:
[evidence]

Duration, pre-read, conflict handling, advisory or voting method, accessibility, and documentation:
[rules]

Verify that the meeting has authority and enough evidence to decide; otherwise make a no-decision or evidence-plan outcome explicit. Separate hard gates from comparative criteria and facts from assumptions. Give each option equivalent review time. Do not invent weights, consensus, votes, authority, costs, or evidence. Return pre-read, timed agenda, decision questions, evidence challenges, stated decision method, stop conditions, and a decision-record template including dissent and review trigger.

Actual input

Decision and authority: Choose whether to renew Vendor A for 12 months, run a three-month extension, or start replacement procurement. Procurement Director decides after advice from Operations, Finance, Security. Current term ends 31 Oct. Decision can be deferred only if extension is legally available; that fact is unconfirmed.
Options and evidence: A meets service uptime gate. Price rises 9%; budget supports up to 5% without CFO exception. Security review has two medium findings with remediation dates supplied but no closure evidence. Replacement cost and timeline estimates are incomplete. Criteria approved: continuity, total cost, security status, operational fit.
Meeting rules: 50 minutes, pre-read 48 hours. No vote; advisers state evidence and recommendation, Director decides. Missing extension authority or unresolved security acceptance can stop decision. Record dissent.

Example output

Pre-read: current contract facts; 9% quote; budget threshold; uptime evidence; security findings/remediation dates; incomplete replacement estimate; approved criteria; authority gaps.

Agenda (50 minutes) 0–5 Director: restate decision, authority and permitted outcomes. 5–10 Procurement: gate check—contract end, extension authority, required approvals. If extension legality is missing and deferral depends on it, label that option blocked. 10–18 Finance: price and 5% threshold; identify whether CFO exception is available, without assuming approval. 18–26 Security: distinguish remediation plan from closure evidence; state who may accept residual risk if supplied. 26–34 Operations: continuity and fit evidence. 34–43 equal option review: 12-month renewal, three-month extension, replacement procurement; same criteria and unknown treatment. 43–47 advisers state recommendations and evidence; no vote tally. 47–50 Director records decision, no-decision condition, or evidence request.

Stop conditions: missing authority for selected path; unaccepted security status; cost approval absent; replacement comparison too incomplete for a defensible choice. Record: option, gate status, evidence, assumptions, decision, owner, conditions, dissent, review date and trigger.

Why this works

1
Authority and evidence gates prevent a meeting from manufacturing a decision it cannot support.
2
Equivalent option review reduces agenda structure from favoring a preferred proposal.

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers about when to use this recipe, what to provide, and where human review still matters

What should I prepare before using “Create a decision meeting agenda”?

For “Create a decision meeting agenda,” prepare Decision and authority, Options and evidence, and Meeting rules. Replace placeholders only with information you can verify. If a detail is unknown, preserve that uncertainty explicitly instead of asking the model to infer it.

When is the “Create a decision meeting agenda” result not ready to use?

The result is not ready if it does not yet deliver the stated outcome—A decision-ready agenda with gates, evidence gaps, voting rules, and a decision record—from the supplied evidence, or if it relies on unresolved assumptions, missing approvals, or invented details. Use the checks as release gates: revise the source inputs or assign a named, authorized reviewer instead of polishing an unsupported output.

Which AI tools have recorded tests for “Create a decision meeting agenda”?

No model run is recorded for “Create a decision meeting agenda” as of 2026-08-29. Treat it as a model-portable template rather than a compatibility claim. Run the worked example first, keep every constraint visible, and compare the output with the result checks before using it on real material.
