Put a hard decision on one page before you make it

To write a decision memo with AI agents, describe the choice to your Brainwrite Chief of Staff. It sends one bot to gather the facts from your docs, sheets, and public sources, and another to argue against the leading option. The Chief writes one memo: the question, the options, the evidence, the risks, and a recommendation. You make the decision.

Decision memo

We need to decide by Friday whether to move from monthly to annual-only pricing. Use the revenue sheet and the churn notes in Notion, check how three competitors price publicly, and have another bot argue against the change. Write a one-page decision memo in Google Docs with a recommendation.

  • Question: move new customers to annual-only pricing from January, yes or no
  • Evidence: 38% of current customers already pay annually (revenue sheet, tab Plans)
  • Case against: monthly sign-ups are 3 times annual ones; annual-only may cut trials
  • Recommendation: offer annual by default and keep monthly at a higher price; confidence medium

The job

Doing it yourself, and handing it off.

Doing it yourself

Big decisions get made in a long Slack thread or a single meeting. The facts are spread across a pricing sheet, two old docs, and someone's memory. Each option has a champion and nobody writes down the case against the favourite. Three months later, when the decision is questioned, there is no record of what was known at the time or why the other options lost.

What the team does

  • Frame the decision as one question with clear options
  • Collect evidence from your files and public sources, each with a source
  • Write the strongest case against the leading option
  • Draft a recommendation with the risks and what would change it

What waits for you

  • The decision itself, and who else needs to agree
  • How much weight each piece of evidence deserves
  • Whether the memo is shared, and with whom

The team

Who's on it.

Your Chief of Staff picks the specialists the job needs. Each has its own role, instructions, model, and app access.

FAQ

Questions about Decision memo

Why have one bot argue against the recommendation?

A single answer tends to agree with how the question was framed. Giving a separate bot the job of arguing against the leading option, with its own instructions and even a different model, surfaces risks that a friendly summary skips. You read both sides before deciding.

Can the bots make the decision for me?

They recommend, with a confidence level and the evidence behind it. The decision, and anything that follows from it such as a message to the team or a change in a tool, stays with you. Actions that touch connected apps wait for your approval in Ask mode.

Can I keep a record of past decisions?

Yes. Ask the Chief to save each memo to the same Notion database or Google Drive folder, with the date and the final call. You can also save your preferred memo format in its memory, so every memo follows the same structure.
