Touch For Fun Prompt Deck

How do we keep the right five questions front-of-mind when decisions must be made fast?

Most Important Problem

Under pressure, teams default to habits and urgency cues; without a shared prompt deck, good intentions fail to stay in working memory at decision time.

Role in the Loop

This page is the fast loop operating layer:

  • Think fast
  • Decide fast
  • Keep principles in RAM
  • Capture drift signals immediately

Use this with the Business Plan and refresh it weekly from deeper strategic learning.

Five Question Entry (Front of Mind)

Use these before sessions, decisions, launches, or conflict moments:

  1. What good are we protecting right now?
  2. What is the real problem in this moment, not the loudest symptom?
  3. What is the next smallest safe move?
  4. What signal will tell us this move is helping?
  5. What should be captured so the system improves tomorrow?

Mantra

Safety, play, presence, progress. Think slow so you can act fast.

  • Safety: consent and trust first
  • Play: keep experimentation alive
  • Presence: attend to people and signal
  • Progress: learn and improve every cycle

Working Memory Board (Weekly)

Keep only three active items:

  1. Primary problem this week
  2. Most important decision this week
  3. One protocol to improve this week

If more than three items appear, demote the rest to Business Plan.

Fast Decision Protocol

PAUSE -> ASK 5 -> PICK NEXT SAFE MOVE -> RUN -> LOG SIGNAL
StepPromptOutput
PauseWhat state are we in right now?Calm, shared frame
Ask 5Run five-question entryProblem clarity
Pick MoveWhat is smallest safe move?Immediate action
RunWho does what by when?Executed decision
LogWhat happened and why?Learning artifact

Drift Signals

Stop and reset if any are true:

  • More debate than observation
  • More activity than measurable progress
  • Safety checks skipped due to urgency
  • Decisions made without naming trade-offs
  • Repeated issues with no protocol update

Update Rule (Slow -> Fast)

Refresh this prompt deck from the Business Plan when:

  • A weekly review identifies repeated drift
  • A pilot result invalidates a core assumption
  • A new constraint changes priorities
  • A better protocol proves itself in practice

Escalate to Slow Planning

When fast-loop signals persist, jump to the relevant planning depth:
