Action Map — Board Brief

The goal (proposed, not measured)

Operations items are decided in the board meeting they are brought to, with the cost of the decision on the page.

What people do instead

Report every indicator and ask for nothing; or lead with a confident cause the analyst's own numbers contradict; or describe the move as win-win and put the cost in an appendix.

The actions that close the gap

#	Behaviour	What it looks like	Where the artifact trains it
1	Select the cards that do a job	demand, capacity, cost and risk on the page; trend repeats and context left in the pack	five slots; "why is this here?" minutes in the read
2	Claim a mechanism and an ask	what is happening, because, so we ask; every part supported by a card on the page	three-part claim; unsupported or contradicted parts cost minutes or send the item back
3	Put the cost on the page	the money given up, in the brief itself	trade-off line; outcome six weeks later
4	Say it in one sentence	finding, ask and a checkable figure	written opening sentence, shown next to a model

What is not a training problem

A board-pack template that requires every indicator on page one.
No agenda question: the analyst does not know which decision the board wants to take.
No feedback after the meeting: nobody tells the analyst why an item was deferred.

Revision note

The earlier map rewarded a "claim register verdict" from three finished sentences and never scored card selection. Selection, the claim's parts and the cost are now each practised and scored, and the board's fifteen-minute read is built. Nothing has been measured.
