The report

A finished run produces report.html (and the same content as report.md) in its run directory. The report leads with the decisions and key facts, not the workshop. It has three parts.

Part 1: Key decisions and facts

Start here. These sections are what a human has to act on.

section what it is for
Decision Dashboard The go/no-go gates the plan depends on.
Decisions Required Each open decision with its options, downstream consequences, an owner and a decide-by month, ranked by importance. Ends with Choices made on your behalf: strategic choices the generator made to complete the plan, for you to ratify or reject.
Canonical Facts One table of the key numbers and dates. Every other section is checked against it.
Executive Summary Scope, goals, deliverables, timeline, budget and main risks. If this is wrong, the rest will be wrong too.
Gantt A draft schedule computed from the estimated durations and dependencies.

Part 2: Supporting analysis

PlanExe's planning documents. Use them to understand and challenge the decisions in Part 1.

  • Pitch and Project Plan (SMART criteria, dependencies, resources, stakeholders, regulatory requirements).
  • Strategic Decisions and Scenarios: the levers the plan considered and the path it chose.
  • Assumptions, Physical Locations, Currency Strategy, Risks.
  • Governance: bodies, implementation plan, escalation matrix, progress monitoring.
  • Data Collection, Documents to Create and Find.
  • SWOT Analysis, Team.
  • Expert Criticism: the plan reviewed from several specialist viewpoints.
  • Work Breakdown Structure, Review Plan, Questions & Answers.
  • Premortem and Self Audit: adversarial sections that assume the plan failed and look for why.

Part 3: Audit trail

What was checked, and what was not.

section what it tells you
Validation Status What "validated" means for this report: which sections searched the web, the consistency lint result before and after repair, a deterministic re-computation of every written calculation, and which sections were not checked.
Consistency Check The full lint of the core documents against the Canonical Facts. If the lint still fails after repair, the report shows a "Consistency lint FAILED" banner.
Initial Prompt Vetted How the prompt was screened before planning.
Prompt Adherence Whether the plan kept to what the prompt asked for.
Metadata Generator version and commit, and per stage: when it ran, which models it used, LLM calls and web searches, and which files were hand-edited.

How to use it

  1. Go through Decisions Required and Choices made on your behalf. Correct anything that doesn't match your situation.
  2. Check the Canonical Facts and Executive Summary for scope, budget and timeline.
  3. Read Validation Status to see which parts are unchecked.
  4. Use Part 2 to challenge the plan with stakeholders and domain experts.
