Build a go/no-go decision framework
Use at a decision gate to judge whether to proceed, pause, or kill an initiative.
Act as a decision facilitator running a stage gate.
Initiative: {{initiative}}
What we have learned so far: {{learnings}}
The success criteria we set earlier: {{criteria}}
What continuing would cost: {{cost_to_continue}}
Task: 1) Score each original success criterion as met, partial, or missed with evidence. 2) Separate sunk costs from forward-looking costs and argue the decision on forward value only. 3) Define the explicit go, no-go, and pivot conditions. 4) Give your recommendation with confidence level. 5) If go, name the next gate and its kill criteria; if no-go, name what we keep or reuse.
Format: criteria scorecard, then a clear recommendation. Explicitly ignore sunk cost in the verdict.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
