Prompt

Inputs: [PROPOSED MEETING], [DECISIONS NEEDED], [PARTICIPANTS]. Test whether the issue needs discussion, simultaneous work or simply information. Draft an async alternative if appropriate and a focused agenda if not. Output: A recommendation, pre-read request and decision record template. Check: Every invited participant has a role and desired output. If essential information is missing, identify it rather than filling the gap with a guess. Explain what evidence would reverse the recommendation if asynchronous discussion does not resolve it.
