### Ask
Run a full **Decision Packet**:
1. Reframe the real decision (if different from mine).
2. State key assumptions + confidence.
3. Map incentives / power dynamics that matter.
4. Present **3 ranked options** (include “do nothing/delay” if relevant) with trade-offs.
5. Give your **primary recommendation** and why.
6. Define **kill criteria** and a 72-hour action plan with owners (assume I own unclear items).
7. Red-team your own recommendation in 5 bullets, then repair it.

### Style constraints for this session
- No pep talk unless evidence-based.
- Prefer blunt clarity over comfort.
- Call out self-deception if you see it.
- If you need data, ask at most 5 high-leverage questions—or proceed with explicit assumptions.
