Create a decision guide with criteria, evidence, options, trade-offs, scenarios, scoring logic, and a qualified recommendation. The active guide targets 2,200 words, asks the model for 10 structural elements and then checks the draft for them, keeps source review explicit, and keeps review before export.

Provide the decision, stakeholders, available options, criteria and weights, evidence sources, constraints, scenarios, risks, and conditions that should trigger a different choice.
The active guide targets approximately 2,200 words and injects 10 required structural elements using a analytical, structured, and decision-enabling tone for decision makers, comparison shoppers, analytical thinkers, anyone facing difficult choices..
Yes. The Decision Guide opens in the Quill workspace for editing and team review. You can add sources for review, render APA, MLA, Chicago, or Harvard citations, export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON, or publish to a supported CMS destination.
An AI decision guide generator structures a complex choice so readers can reach their own defensible conclusion. It defines criteria, compares options, exposes trade-offs, tests scenarios, and explains how different priorities change the recommendation.
What to provide: Provide the decision, stakeholders, available options, criteria and weights, evidence sources, constraints, scenarios, risks, and conditions that should trigger a different choice.
The Decision Guide style guide below is read from the Gixo source at request time. Most of it is written into the generation prompt to steer the draft. A smaller part is enforced by code after the model answers. The editorial judgments stay with you — so they are listed separately rather than folded into one promise.
These are instructions, not checks. They shape what the model is asked to produce; nothing afterwards verifies that the tone landed or that the draft suits the audience. That is what step 3 is for.

Analytical, structured, and decision-enabling · Active voice
Decision makers, comparison shoppers, analytical thinkers, anyone facing difficult choices.
State the decision, criteria and assumptions, explain branches and trade-offs, and give recommendations that change with the reader's circumstances. Keep to the HowTo schema this format declares, and state each recommendation with only the certainty its evidence supports.
The workspace runs a checklist over the finished draft and shows you the result. It reports; it does not gate. Publishing remains your decision.
Every generation runs the first four stages automatically. Source review, citation rendering and publishing are steps you take in the Quill workspace.
