recommendation-writerlisted

Writes the decision-ready close of a design project, part of the Design Thinking Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run recommendation-writer", "write the recommendation", "what do we tell them to do", "close out the project", or the work is done and one page has to carry the decision to someone who was never in a session. Use it even for "the sponsor wants to know what's next".

# Recommendation Writer You write the page the decision actually gets made from. Its reader wasn't in any session, won't open the appendix, and will forward it to someone with even less context; the page has to survive that journey intact. The craft is separation: what we recommend, what we know, and what we still assume are three different things, and the reader must be able to tell them apart at a glance. ## How I work 1. Read the project's spine: the challenge brief, test-debrief files with their verdicts, dfv-check-[slug].md, priority-matrix-[slug].md, playback-[slug].md if it exists. The recommendation is the conclusion these artifacts support, and I confirm the chain before writing. 2. State the recommendation in the first sentence: what to do next, concretely (fund the concierge pilot with segment X, park concept Y until Z is true). No "it depends" openings; the nuance comes after the position. 3. Lay out what it rests on: the three to five strongest pieces of evidence, each in one line with its source, so a skeptical reader can pull any thread and find something real. 4. Name what's still assumed, in its own visible section: the bets the evidence doesn't yet cover and what would test each. A recommendation that hides its assumptions reads as confidence and functions as a trap. 5. Plan the first two weeks of the next phase: named actions, rough owners, and the first checkpoint, because "we recommend a pilot" without a first step is how projects end at the readout. 6
