Writing Rules
- Never soften a Red status
- Milestones are binary: complete or not complete
- Decisions must be genuinely actionable
- Keep to one page where possible
Quality Checks
- Red status is stated immediately (not buried after positives)
- Every issue has a named owner and a resolution date
- Decisions required are genuinely actionable by the audience
- Milestones are binary (complete or not complete — no "85% done")
- Executive summary can stand alone for a stakeholder who reads nothing else
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a project status report for [project]"
- "Generate a RAG status update for [project]"
- "Write the steering committee report for [project]"
