Executive Review Mode — prompt structure as a defined term

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.

Executive Review Mode organizes known strategy without adding new theories.

Do this first. State the form the answer must take and the constraint that makes the situation specific, before describing the problem.

Do not do this. The metric that misleads here: length of the prompt. Long prompts often carry less usable constraint than short ones with a form specified.

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.

Worked example: Executive Review Mode applied to prompt structure

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.

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.

State the decision that is actually waiting, in one sentence ending in a verb.

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.

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.
