SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Executive communications often bury the decision point in long narratives, mix facts with opinions, and propose vague actions without owners or deadlines. This Skill structures strategic arguments into the Situation-Complication-Problem-Recommendation format so investment committees, boards, and LP audiences get a one-page, decision-ready memo. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-Element Structuring: Builds Situation (verifiable facts), Complication (what changed), Problem (one crisp question), and Recommendations (3-5 MECE actions with owner, deadline, and expected outcome). - Multiple Usage Modes: Interactive mode with clarifying questions, direct topic analysis, critique of an existing SCPR draft, and blank template generation. - Structural Validation: Applies a checklist enforcing MECE recommendations, Complication-versus-Problem separation, and a one-page (~400 word) limit. - Use Case: A CRE analyst facing rising Class B office vacancy uses the Skill to produce a one-page memo asking whether to reposition to life sciences, with three time-bound recommendations for the investment committee. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build an SCPR analysis on your strategic topic, for example: create an SCPR memo on whether our fund should exit the underperforming retail portfolio this year.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an SCPR executive memo?▼

Write 2-3 sentences of verifiable facts for the Situation, 2-3 sentences describing what changed for the Complication, one question as the Problem, and 3-5 recommendations each with an action, owner, deadline, and expected outcome. Keep the total under one page.

What is the difference between Complication and Problem in SCPR?▼

The Complication is a declarative statement describing an external change, such as rising vacancy rates. The Problem is an interrogative question about what to do, such as whether to reposition the asset. Conflating them skips the diagnostic step.

Can SCPR be used for private equity and real estate decisions?▼

Yes, the framework applies to PE, CRE, LP, and fund domains. Examples include deciding how to respond when a major customer builds a competing capability or whether to reposition an office asset given vacancy trends.

How do I make recommendations MECE?▼

Test whether any two recommendations could be merged, which indicates overlap, and whether executing all of them fully answers the Problem, which reveals gaps. Each recommendation needs a distinct action, owner, deadline, and quantified outcome.

Does the SCPR framework require external data or APIs?▼

No, SCPR is a pure analytical framework with no MCP or data connector requirements. It works with any domain data the user provides or data retrieved from other skills.
