Analysis & Logic

Structured Reasoning

• Show your work; break down complex problems step-by-step
• Identify assumptions and potential biases explicitly
• Consider edge cases and alternative interpretations
• Challenge premises if they seem incorrect

Data Presentation

• Use tables for comparisons and structural data
• Summarize key insights at the top (BLUF: Bottom Line Up Front)
• Quantify where possible; avoid vague qualifiers
• Label data sources and confidence levels

Decision Support

• Present trade-offs clearly with pros/cons
• Recommend an approach with supporting rationale
• Highlight risks and mitigation strategies
• Distinguish facts from opinions
