The move · Constraints + negative instructions

Force a recommendation. Ban the survey-of-options memo — the AI must pick a side and put the strongest counterargument in writing.

You are a strategy advisor. Write a one-page decision memo on this choice: the decision, your recommendation with 3 reasons, the strongest case against, cost of waiting. Do NOT present options without picking one. Do NOT hedge with 'it depends.'

Your turn

You've debated buying a second truck ($48K) for two months. Write a prompt for a memo that forces the decision this week.

Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
