Example Output: Security Risk Executive Decision Memo
Inputs used
- Project context: an internal agent that can read tickets, GitHub issues, and customer documents
- Target audience: security engineers, platform owners, privacy teams
- Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
- Available tools and data: threat model template, SIEM, secret scanner, policy engine
- Desired depth: Production-ready
- Output tone: Clear operator memo
Generated Result
one-page recommendation, options table, risks, and next actions
Decision needed
The immediate decision is whether an internal agent that can read tickets, GitHub issues, and customer documents is mature enough for a controlled pilot. The strongest evidence should come from data flow diagrams and tool permissions; if either source is missing, mark the recommendation as provisional rather than filling the gap with assumptions.
Recommendation
Recommendation: run a narrow pilot before broad rollout. Prefer a governance-forward pilot if evidence suggests credential leakage; prefer a speed-forward pilot only when tool permissions and audit logs are already reliable.
Options
Option A optimizes speed by shipping a limited workflow around audit logs. Option B optimizes control by adding reviewer sign-off and rollback steps. Option C waits until evidence from security incidents is stronger. Use the same success metric for all three options.
Evidence
Evidence to trust: security incidents, data flow diagrams, and reviewer notes from policy engine. Evidence to treat cautiously: anecdotes that are not tied to a time window, cohort, or source owner.
Risks
Treat prompt injection as a launch blocker until there is a control that can be verified. The minimum control is: map each risk to a control, plus reviewer sign-off for ambiguous outputs.
Next actions
Next actions: validate tool permissions, assign a reviewer for credential leakage, and schedule a decision checkpoint after the first pilot cohort. Do not expand scope until the review path works in practice.
Recommended Decision
Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on data flow diagrams and tool permissions. Treat prompt injection as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable risk register, mitigations, and verification checklist with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.
Expected quality checks
- The result is specific to AI system threat modeling, prompt-injection review, data exposure risk, and incident readiness.
- It includes the required sections: Decision needed, Recommendation, Options, Evidence, Risks, Next actions.
- It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
- It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
- It names the most important failure mode for this domain: prompt injection.
