Archetype: Data-to-decision tool

Use when

Operational teams must choose among a constrained set of actions using curated facts (not exploratory analytics).

Common users

  • Analysts bridging policy and spreadsheets
  • Field operators executing playbooks
  • Compliance reviewers auditing outcomes

Minimal MVP

  • Dataset intake with validation rules
  • Decision matrix or rules engine
  • Transparent rationale / citations to source rows
  • Immutable decision log
  • Rollback or appeal workflow

Required files

  • product.yaml
  • product-brief.md
  • data-contract.md
  • evaluation.md
  • demo.md

Evaluation

  • Decision latency vs manual baseline
  • Override rate and override reasons
  • Data freshness violations
  • Drift when upstream schemas change

Reference products

  • Internal policy copilots with signed evidence trails

Common mistakes

  • Shipping another dashboard without default actions
  • Hiding provenance when models assist ranking
  • Skipping negative tests for malformed inputs

Agent prompt

You are building a data-to-decision microproduct. Identify the enforcing policy, quantify acceptable latency, enumerate every regulated field, then implement the smallest flow that renders a justified action with citations and logging.
