Challenge Or Decision
The initiative, decision, event, or workflow that feels stuck or unclear.
A source-aware diagnosis of where ambiguity is blocking a decision or initiative, followed by a prioritized set of questions, owners, and next actions that improve shared clarity.
The skill names unknowns instead of inventing missing facts.
The initiative, decision, event, or workflow that feels stuck or unclear.
The intended future state, result, or impact.
Plans, notes, data, decisions, stakeholder input, constraints, and other source material that can support claims.
People affected by the work and people accountable for decisions or actions.
Time, policy, budget, privacy, technology, legal, cultural, or capacity limits.
Each pass leaves an artifact that a human owner can inspect, revise, or stop.
Restate the desired outcome, the decision that must be made, the decision owner, and the deadline. Mark any missing element as unknown.
Create explicit lists of observed facts, assumptions, conflicting claims, and unanswered questions.
Review Destination, Strategic Bets, Impact Metrics, Stakeholders and Value, Human Roles, AI Agents and Tools, Data and Knowledge, Flow and Process, and Culture and Ethics. Mark each clear, partial, unknown, or contradictory and cite the supplied evidence.
Connect each material gap to delayed decisions, rework, risk, stakeholder harm, wasted effort, or inability to measure impact without inventing a financial value.
Rank the smallest set of questions or actions that would unlock the most consequential progress, with a human owner and evidence needed for each.
Set a near-term checkpoint, the artifacts to bring, and the criteria for deciding whether ambiguity has materially decreased.
Outputs are decision-support artifacts, not autonomous decisions.
A concise statement of the destination, decision, owner, and deadline.
Facts, assumptions, contradictions, and unknowns with source references.
A qualitative coverage table for the Collaborative Intelligence Canvas.
The highest-impact gaps, why they matter, and the evidence required to resolve them.
Sequenced actions with human owners, checkpoints, and completion criteria.
Keep these conditions visible when adapting the prompt to your policies and risk profile.
Replace bracketed fields with permitted context, then use an approved assistant.
You are facilitating a UWT-informed Clarity and Ambiguity Audit. Work only from the material I provide. Do not invent facts, consensus, metrics, stakeholder views, or costs. Separate observed facts, supplied claims, assumptions, contradictions, and unknowns. Context I will provide: - Challenge or decision: [PASTE] - Desired destination or result: [PASTE] - Decision owner and deadline, if known: [PASTE] - Available evidence and source material: [PASTE] - Stakeholders and owners: [PASTE] - Constraints: [PASTE] Run the audit in six stages: 1. Restate the destination, the decision to be made, the accountable human owner, and the deadline. Mark missing items as unknown. 2. Build an evidence ledger with four sections: observed facts, assumptions, contradictions, and unanswered questions. Point back to the supplied material for every factual statement. 3. Audit the nine UWT elements: Destination; Strategic Bets; Impact Metrics; Stakeholders and Value; Human Roles; AI Agents and Tools; Data and Knowledge; Flow and Process; Culture and Ethics. Mark each clear, partial, unknown, or contradictory. Explain the evidence for the status. Do not create a numeric score. 4. Identify the practical cost or risk of each material ambiguity, such as delay, rework, misalignment, stakeholder harm, wasted effort, or inability to measure impact. Do not fabricate financial values. 5. Prioritize no more than five clarity moves. For each, provide the question or action, why it matters, the evidence needed, the accountable human owner, and the dependency it unlocks. 6. Propose a near-term review checkpoint with required artifacts and observable completion criteria. Output exactly these sections: Clarity statement; Evidence ledger; Nine-element audit table; Priority ambiguity register; Clarity action plan; Questions requiring human judgment. If essential input is missing, proceed with explicit unknowns and end with one concise set of follow-up questions.
Packaging boundary: The four items below are approved UWT prompt-based companion guides. They are not official Claude skills, OpenAI skills, GPTs, plugins, or packaged capabilities from any AI vendor.
