How to Write a Strategy Recommendation Paper With AI

Draft a paper that presents options, analyzes trade-offs, and gives a clear recommendation. AI structures the argument so executives can decide fast.

10 steps ~1h 30min For founders & managers Free

A strategy recommendation paper with AI gives you a structured document that presents 2-4 strategic options, analyzes each against defined criteria, and recommends one path with supporting evidence. Most recommendation papers fail because they either bury the recommendation or don't compare options rigorously. AI helps by organizing your research into a consistent framework: context, options, evaluation criteria, trade-off analysis, and a recommendation with implementation steps. On aidowith.me, the Executive Briefing route walks you through 10 steps in about 1.5 hours. You'll input your strategic context and options, and AI drafts the paper with sections for risk assessment, resource requirements, and expected outcomes per option. The route produces a 3-5 page document ready for executive review. Decision-makers who receive structured recommendation papers approve 45% faster than those reviewing unstructured proposals.

The Problem and the Fix

Without a route

  • You present 3 options to leadership, but your paper doesn't compare them against the same criteria
  • Executives ask for a recommendation, but you're afraid to commit to one option without structured backing
  • Your strategy paper takes 6-8 hours to write because you keep restructuring the argument

2

AI drafts the analysis and recommendation

AI evaluates each option against your criteria, highlights trade-offs, and drafts a recommendation section with supporting evidence and risk notes.

3

Refine and format for executive review

Edit the draft for accuracy, add internal data or precedents, and format as a 3-5 page brief. Include an executive summary on page one.

Questions

A business case argues for one specific initiative with ROI projections. A strategy recommendation paper presents multiple options, compares them against criteria, and recommends one. It's used when leadership needs to choose between directions, not evaluate a single proposal.

Two to four options work best. Fewer than two isn't a real comparison. More than four overwhelms the reader and dilutes the analysis. The route helps you scope your options and consolidate similar ones before drafting the comparison.

AI structures the paper and drafts prose, but you provide the domain knowledge, data, and context. Think of AI as the writer and organizer. You're the strategist. The route prompts you for the right inputs so the output reflects your expertise, not generic advice.
