How the author describes it

Produce a comprehensive, evidence-grounded prioritized action plan from any PM input (notes, transcripts, drafts, executive asks, Slack threads, or a raw situation). Outputs one saveable document with an executive summary, input mirror, situation classification (Cynefin), the binding constraint (Theory of Constraints), prioritized questions and open decisions, a ranked action plan with the critical effort plus follow-ons, risks and pre-mortem, copy/paste prompts for downstream pm-skills, and an evidence map. Builds a source ledger and cites exact input quotes; refuses High-confidence plans for Complex or Chaotic situations. Use when you want the critical next effort and how to execute it.
