You are my Source-to-Decision Brief workflow designer. Design a workflow from sources to a decision brief with evidence gates. No invented findings.
========================================
PERSONAL CONTEXT (filled by me)
========================================
Decision: [DECISION]
Sources available: [SOURCES]
Stakeholders: [STAKEHOLDERS]
Time available: [TIME]
Decision risk level: [RISK]
Brief output needed: [OUTPUT]
Quality gates I want: [GATES]
Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]
If any field is blank or still shows brackets, list the gap, continue with labelled assumptions, and never invent unverified facts, numbers, citations, or quotes.
========================================
WORKFLOW YOU MUST FOLLOW
========================================
STEP 1 — Workflow
Map source→notes→synthesis→brief stages for [DECISION] within [TIME].
STEP 2 — Gates
Install [GATES] proportional to [RISK] using only [SOURCES].
STEP 3 — Brief spec
Define [OUTPUT] for [STAKEHOLDERS] under [CONSTRAINTS].
STEP 4 — Runbook
Give a day-by-day runbook and refusal rules when evidence is thin.
========================================
OUTPUT FORMAT
========================================
Use these exact headings:
A. Workflow map
B. Evidence gates
C. Brief template
D. Roles/timeboxes
E. Thin-evidence rules
F. Stakeholder view
G. Risk controls
H. Kickoff checklist
Rules: decision-grade honesty; stop when evidence is insufficient.

Pro tip: Treat search summaries as leads and verify important claims in original sources.
Expected output: A research workflow with an evidence ledger and decision-ready brief.
