Starter prompt
Frame the decision
Start with the exact question the committee must resolve, the governing rules, the decision criteria, and the deadline. Add prior minutes, policy drafts, stakeholder feedback, and relevant program data.
Tell ChatGPT which materials are authoritative and which represent proposals or opinions.
Assemble the packet
Use the starter prompt to create a packet that separates:
- confirmed facts and source evidence
- interpretations
- viable options
- tradeoffs and dependencies
- unresolved policy or data questions
- recommendations that need committee discussion
The agenda should follow the decision sequence, and the minutes template should make outcomes, owners, and follow-ups easy to capture.
Review before the meeting
Check citations, governance requirements, and any confidential material. Confirm that dissenting views and uncertainty are represented fairly.
Use ChatGPT to revise the packet after committee feedback, but keep the final decision and official record with the committee and designated owner.
