Decision memo

Ask: “Write a decision memo from the latest run. We decide to go ahead with the pilot, the next action is to hire two recruiters, and we review on 31 March.” Claude uses create_decision_memo, which needs four things: the run, the decision, the next action and a review date.
  • Audience: manager gives the plain-language memo. specialist adds per-option statistics, the scope of the value-of-information figure and any declared dependencies.
  • A memo can only be written from a current run. If the model changed after the run, the request is refused. Run again first.

Documents

Each decision comes with standard documents, such as the decision brief, model documentation and an assumptions register.
Figures in a document should always be component tokens, not typed numbers. Then they stay in step with the model when it changes. Ask Claude to “use tokens for every figure”.
