15 min Beginner Decisions Get Something Done Need to Make a Decision

Turn scattered design questions into a clear priority list based on area, structure, approvals, budget, schedule, and avoidable rework.

We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play

Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.

You can focus limited design time on questions that could force major changes, delay approvals, or create expensive rework if you answer them too late.

Your answers save as you type.

What you'll do

This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

01 Score and rank your open questions You give the AI your project context, milestone, constraints, and unresolved questions. It scores the cost of a wrong or late answer and sorts your questions into action groups.

Use this when

Use this when you have several unresolved questions before concept design, a client meeting, consultant coordination, a submission, or a major design freeze.

You'll need

  • Project context
  • Project stage
  • Next milestone
  • Fixed constraints
  • Open design questions

Fill these in the prompt workspace.

You'll get

  • One ranked list covering every open question, clear reasons for the top priorities, a next action and owner for each item, and a separate flag for anything requiring licensed judgment or authority review.

By the end of this playbook

You will have:

  • One ranked list covering every open question, clear reasons for the top priorities, a next action and owner for each item, and a separate flag for anything requiring licensed judgment or authority review.
