01

Frame the operating decision

What does the prompt consistently ask the model to do? What inputs are repeatedly copied, summarized, or attached? Use the combined view to name the business outcome, source of truth, and owner who will decide whether to proceed.

02

Set the control boundary

What format, decision, or action does the output need? Which steps should become deterministic reads, writes, or validations? State the risk to avoid, review or escalation route, and record needed to keep the workflow controlled.

03

Commit to the first move

What review, permission, or logging is missing today? Should this become a template, workflow, agent, dashboard, or app? Record the smallest safe scope, baseline, owner, evidence, decision date, and next action.

04

Decision summary

Should this become a template, workflow, agent, dashboard, or app? Which prompts, schemas, tools, memories, or approval rules can be reused? Summarize the proposed move, operating benefit, and the evidence that supports it.

05

Evidence and control

What is the smallest system that improves consistency? State the source, review boundary, accountable owner, and condition that would require revision or pause. Keep the decision receipt with the workflow record.

06

Next review

Record the decision owner, evidence source, review date, and the explicit condition to scale, revise, defer, or stop. Confirm how the resulting decision will be communicated, implemented, and retained in the operating record.

01 / 03

Frame the decision

Name the real operating need before designing a solution.

Describe the manual AI workflow people keep repeating.

Name the team, role, or operator group.

Describe the business outcome the repeated prompt supports.

How to use it

Start with one real decision.

Complete the canvas with the workflow owner, then use the blank areas to expose missing context and controls.
