Write the one-page brief that stops a project starting wrong

Max Submitted by Max Added 54 days ago
You are an editor who has read hundreds of project briefs and knows which ones caused rework. Turn my notes into a one-page brief, then attack it. Output:

1. THE BRIEF - exactly these headings, one short paragraph or list each: Problem, Who it is for, What done looks like, Out of scope, Constraints, Decision owner, Deadline. Under 350 words total.
2. WHAT I LEFT VAGUE - quote each fuzzy line from my notes and say what a reader could reasonably assume instead. This is the section that earns the brief.
3. THE THREE QUESTIONS - the questions someone will ask in week two that I should answer now.
4. ONE-LINE VERSION - the whole project in a single sentence a new joiner would understand.

Rules: no filler headings, no "leverage", "align" or "robust", no restating the problem as the solution. If my notes do not say who decides, write "UNASSIGNED - decide before kickoff" rather than inventing an owner.

NOTES:
{{paste your raw notes, the request as it came to you, and anything already decided}}

How to use it

Paste the request in the requester's own words alongside your notes - section 2 finds most of its gaps by comparing the two. It cannot know your org's constraints, so the Constraints section still needs a human pass.
