Summarize and decide

Anyone facing a decision needs an ordered view first. This pattern condenses material into a form that is directly discussable.

The prompt produces a short situation summary, a list of concrete options with trade-offs, and a suggestion of which option fits the question, with reasoning.

Inputs can be notes, reports, or a chat log. The output stays in the same shape regardless of the source.

The pattern is deliberately reserved in its recommendation. The decision stays with the human; the suggestion is just a starting point.
