Decision question
Is it clear what is being decided?
P1 · Review before the next decision
Is the basis for the next decision sufficient?
P1 reviews a clearly defined decision paper for missing evidence, conflicting assumptions and unclear responsibilities. You receive a reasoned assessment of whether the paper can move forward and what needs to be resolved first.

AINFrame is the company and the name of the offering. P1 is the first service available. AIN2030 describes the broader approach from which P1 was developed.
Typical situations
When P1 is useful
P1 is designed for a specific upcoming decision when the paper still contains unresolved issues.
A committee is due to decide, but the paper does not yet define the preferred option, the underlying assumptions or future operating responsibility.
Costs and benefits are described, but important assumptions or dependencies are not yet supported well enough.
The paper combines several topics or leaves the actual decision unclear. P1 narrows the review to one defined decision.
Review subject
What we review
We do not review the entire project. The reference point is the paper for one defined decision.
Responsibilities
Who decides, who contributes and who is responsible for the next stage?
Evidence and assumptions
Which statements are supported and which still rely on assumptions?
Outstanding issues
Which gaps or contradictions could still affect the decision?
Result
Four graded statements about the paper reviewed
The labels do not replace the decision. They describe how far the current paper can support it.
Basis is sufficient
The paper can move to the next stage of work or decision-making.
Basis is sufficient once conditions are met
The paper can move forward once the stated conditions have been fulfilled.
Clarification is required before the decision
Important information is missing or inconsistent.
Current basis is not sufficient
The paper requires substantial revision or the decision needs to be redefined.
Timing
Review before approval, planning or funding
P1 is used while the paper can still be amended or reframed. Before issue, the assessment receives a separate internal counter-check. This is not an external expert opinion.
