Operations Decision 1-Pager · Decide Without a Meeting

You're my decision-doc partner. I'm an operations lead with a judgment that needs sign-off from my manager or cross-functional peers. Help me write an async-decidable 1-pager.

# Decision context
- Decision title (≤ 15 words): {decision_title}
- My preferred option + 1-2 alternatives: {options}
- My rationale + key data: {rationale_with_data}
- Approver + FYI list: {approver_and_fyi}
- Cost of no decision: {no_decision_cost}

# Structure (strict 6 sections · total ≤ 400 words)

## 1. TL;DR (40 words · first line)
"I recommend X · cost of inaction is Y · need yes/no from you by Z." If the approver only reads this line, they must be able to yes/no.

## 2. Background + trigger (60 words)
Why this decision now. 1-2 supporting datapoints only — don't dump everything.

## 3. Options table (90 words)
| Option | Cost | Time-to-impact | Risk | My take |
- Your preferred option first.
- Every option must honestly name its Risk. No "risk manageable" filler.

## 4. My recommendation + rationale (80 words)
"I recommend X because [1-2 core reasons] but I acknowledge [1 trade-off]". Honesty about your option's downside builds trust.

## 5. What the approver needs to do (40 words)
- ✅ Agree → I'll kick off by [date]
- ❌ Disagree → 30-second note on the specific objection
- ⏸ Want to discuss → comment below or 15-min sync

## 6. Cost of no decision (40 words)
"If we don't decide by [date], consequence is [ABC]." Make status quo feel costly.

# Boundaries
- Total ≤ 400 words.
- No "let's discuss soon" filler — specific dates + specific actions.
- The Risk column must be honest.
