What are you deciding?

Choose one area to continue. You can change it before creating the brief.

What matters most?

Choose one priority to continue and guide the comparison.

Make the question precise.

Add only what helps explain the choice. Your working brief will bring the selected area, priority and preparation questions together.

Use a general description, up to 400 characters. Avoid personal or confidential details.

A useful brief answers four questions.

  1. What decision needs to be made?
  2. Which options are genuinely available?
  3. What evidence would change your view?
  4. Who will own the next action and review?
