The One-Page Fix Brief

Turn one stalled process into a one-page fix brief in 5 minutes with a Claude prompt.

Five minutes, five steps

  1. Describe the stall point in five lines below. The prompt fills itself in as you type.
  2. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude. It asks you the four sorting questions, one at a time.
  3. It gives the verdict: rebuild the handoff, set a threshold and reassign, fix the source first, or remove the step.
  4. It writes the one-page brief: trigger, steps, owner, measure, source document.
  5. Send the brief to the process owner. Book twenty minutes on Thursday to sign it.

What comes back

A one-page brief with five headings: Trigger (when this runs), Steps (five or fewer, each with a who), Owner (one name), Measure (the number that proves it worked, and when it is read), Source document (where the evidence lives). And above it, the verdict: rebuild the handoff, set a threshold and reassign, fix the source first, or remove the step.

Send the brief to the process owner. Book twenty minutes on Thursday to sign it.

Build it once, properly.
