Business brief templates and decision layouts
Build a free project brief template →
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, or deck, or into a framework artifact, which is a Gixo Prism artifact and needs a Prism plan. A deck is made in Gixo Lumen with a Lumen plan, and a standalone decision artifact in Gixo Prism with a Prism plan; inside a Business report the options, criteria, and decision logic sit in the report itself.
Memo and report templates
Use these when the artifact needs a concise point of view, a traceable evidence base, and a reader who can act.
Board update
- Executive summary
- KPI movement
- Risks, asks, and decisions needed
Recommendation report
- Case framing
- Analytical working paper
- Final recommendation and next steps
Choose the right starting point
Templates are the output shape. Start with the business moment, then let Business route the evidence into the right workflow.
Analysis templates: vendor comparison, market entry, and GTM launch readout
Vendor comparison
Compare options by fit, cost, implementation risk, switching cost, and evidence quality. Best for software selection, agency selection, and build-vs-buy choices.
Market-entry brief
Frame market attractiveness, constraints, competitive position, channel access, regulatory issues, and next validation steps.
GTM launch readout
Summarize positioning, ICP, channel experiments, enablement gaps, launch owner, and what must be fixed before scale-up.
Framework and diagnostic layouts
Use a framework or diagnostic when prose is not enough and the review needs visible structure. Framework artifacts are built in Gixo Prism and need a Prism plan; diagnostics remain in Business, and a decision table can sit inside a Business recommendation report. New standalone decision matrices are made in Gixo Prism with Prism access.
SWOT, Porter, PESTEL, BCG
Route named strategy frameworks into the framework artifact path, a Gixo Prism feature available with a Prism plan, so the structure stays visible and editable.
Decision matrix
Weight criteria, compare options, and preserve the recommendation logic for stakeholder review, as a decision table inside a Business recommendation report.
Readiness diagnostic
Run a deterministic diagnostic first when the main question is readiness: PMF, fundraising, GTM, decision quality, diligence, or operations.
