Decision memo
- Decision ask
- Options and trade-offs
- Recommendation, confidence, and reversal condition
Gixo Business templates are not empty fields to fill by hand. They are output shapes for grounded decision support: the source pack, question, audience, and risk level determine whether the work should become a memo, board update, vendor comparison, market-entry brief, recommendation report, diagnostic, decision artifact, framework, or deck.

Current public contract
| Aspect | Current behavior | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| brief recipes | 59 | Derived from the current Business recipe catalog. |
| named business tools | 6 | The current Business suite catalog, excluding the Start here router. |
| readiness diagnostics | 6 | Derived from the deterministic diagnostics catalog. |
Use these when the artifact needs a concise point of view, a traceable evidence base, and a reader who can act.
Templates are the output shape. Start with the business moment, then let Business route the evidence into the right workflow.
Compare options by fit, cost, implementation risk, switching cost, and evidence quality. Best for software selection, agency selection, and build-vs-buy choices.
Frame market attractiveness, constraints, competitive position, channel access, regulatory issues, and next validation steps.
Summarize positioning, ICP, channel experiments, enablement gaps, launch owner, and what must be fixed before scale-up.
Use a framework or diagnostic when prose is not enough and the review needs visible structure.
Route named strategy frameworks into the framework artifact path so the structure stays visible and editable.
Weight criteria, compare options, and preserve the recommendation logic for stakeholder review.
Run a deterministic diagnostic first when the main question is readiness: PMF, fundraising, GTM, decision quality, diligence, or operations.
