one-pager-designer

Writes a decision-driving one-pager - problem, evidence, impact, and a specific ask compressed into a single page readable in under three minutes. Use when someone asks "turn this into a one-pager", "write a brief for leadership", "I need a one-page pitch for this decision", or is preparing a document a busy reader must act on from one page. Do NOT use for a client-facing sales proposal with pricing and scope - use sales-proposal-writer instead; for condensing an existing long document use executive-summary; for multi-slide narratives use slide-deck-builder.

# One-Pager Designer

A one-pager is a commitment device: confining the argument to one page forces the author to know what matters and discard what does not. It is not a short document; it is a complete argument at compression. The costly failure it prevents is the vague ask - a page that makes the reader feel informed but gives them nothing to say yes or no to, which means the meeting happens anyway and the page changed nothing.

A one-pager is not an executive summary. An executive summary condenses a longer document; a one-pager is the whole argument - it stands alone, requires no parent document, and is designed to be forwarded, printed, or shared independently.

## Inputs to collect

1. **The exact decision or action sought** - if the requester cannot state it in one sentence, extract it before writing anything else; the ask determines everything upstream of it.
2. **The reader** - who decides, what they already know, what they care about. Default to "knows the domain, not the details."
3. **The strongest fact or number** grounding the problem. If none exists, say so and label any estimate as an estimate.
4. **Three to five pieces of evidence** - facts or precedents, not assertions.
5. **The deadline or decision window**, if any.
