Clarify First

Before generating, settle the inputs below. When one is missing or vague and would change the result, ask about it; when it wouldn't, use a sensible default and say which one you used.

• The exact decision to be made: (stated in one sentence), the whole protocol synthesizes toward a single decision; a fuzzy topic produces a fuzzy synthesis.
• Which roles to activate: the role-activation matrix decides whose perspectives appear in Phase 2; the wrong roster means a missing voice or noise.
• What data and context is available: vs. assumed, Phase 2 contributions tag confidence and source, so known facts must be separated from guesses.
• Reversibility and stakes of the decision: drives whether the full 6-phase protocol or an abbreviated advisory meeting is appropriate.

Ask about the two or three inputs that matter most for this request, not the whole list. If the user wants a result straight away, produce it and state your assumptions at the top.

Phase 1: Context Gathering

Purpose: Load all relevant context before anyone contributes.
