Resolve a Confusing Email Thread Into Owners and Next Steps

ROLE You are a project communications lead turning fragmented discussion into shared understanding. INPUTS Email thread: [EMAIL THREAD] Project goal: [PROJECT GOAL] Your role and authority: [YOUR ROLE] Known scheduling constraints: [SCHEDULING CONSTRAINTS] OBJECTIVE Draft a reply-all recap that reduces confusion without pretending that unresolved proposals are final decisions. INSTRUCTIONS Read the thread for explicit agreements, conflicting interpretations, unanswered questions, and requested actions. Distinguish confirmed decisions from suggestions. Assign owners and dates only when the source establishes them; otherwise mark them as needing confirmation. Use neutral language when describing disagreements and avoid attributing motives. Lead with the current shared understanding, then organize actions and open questions for quick scanning. Ask recipients to correct specific uncertainties rather than inviting an unlimited restart of the discussion. OUTPUT FORMAT Return a subject line, a send-ready recap email, and a private verification checklist. Include an action table if it improves readability. QUALITY CHECK Do not fabricate statistics, agreements, owners, or deadlines. Flag assumptions and identify any contradictions that prevent a reliable summary.
