Executive Review Mode — prompt structure while closing a chaotic week

The week is ending, it does not feel like anything happened, and the memory of it is dominated by two bad days.

What is actually scarce here: an accurate record. What is left is a reconstruction weighted toward the worst moments.

Do this first. List only what exists that did not exist on Monday, then read that list before writing anything about next week.

Do not do this. Do not plan next week from this feeling. A plan written against a bad reconstruction inherits the bad reconstruction.

Why do the answers come back plausible and unusable? State the form the answer must take and the constraint that makes the situation specific, before describing the problem.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when you already know most of what you need to know and the problem is that it is not organized into a decision.

  1. State the decision that is actually waiting, in one sentence ending in a verb.
  2. List only what you already know that bears on it. New research is out of scope for the session.
  3. Separate the list into facts, assumptions, and unknowns, and mark which unknowns would actually change the decision.
  4. Make the decision, or name the single piece of information that would settle it and how you will get it.

ElementWhat it is here
What it is usually mistaken forA bad week. Weeks that felt bad frequently produced more than weeks that felt fine, and only the record can tell you which.
The metric that misleadsHow the week felt. It is reconstructed at the end and weighted by the worst two days in it.
What to do in the first weekList what exists that did not exist on Monday, then read that list before planning anything.

Worked example: a founder with three unowned items and one investor update due

It is 09:40. The investor update is due Friday, two hires are waiting on a decision that only they can make, and a customer email arrived that will take an hour to answer properly. Nothing on that list has an owner other than them. The week is ending, it does not feel like anything happened, and the memory of it is dominated by two bad days.

List only what exists that did not exist on Monday, then read that list before writing anything about next week. Do not plan next week from this feeling. A plan written against a bad reconstruction inherits the bad reconstruction.

The prompt structure move is specific: state the form the answer must take and the constraint that makes the situation specific, before describing the problem. Next week's plan is written against output rather than against mood, and the output is usually larger than the feeling suggested.

What to measure. Whether the answer contains something that would be wrong for someone else in a similar situation.

Running Executive Review Mode for prompt structure support

When a situation is unclear, the reflex is to gather more input, and more input makes an already-unstructured picture harder to act on. Review mode forbids new material and forces the existing material into a shape a decision can be made from.

The full set of failure modes for this framework, the evidence to record, and a prompt you can paste are on its framework page. This page covers the part specific to prompt structure support.

What this is not. It is not strategy generation and it will not tell you something you did not already know. It converts what you know into a decision.

Evidence that it is working: whether the answer contains something that would be wrong for someone else in a similar situation.

Organizational support only. It is not clinical, legal, or financial advice.
