I'm very interested in this 6-page memo, I also found during my PhD that writing can really help clarify thinking. You may think you have a very clear idea in your mind but then when you write this to paper, many gaps can suddenly appear. I've looked all over online for an example of a memo but I couldn't find anything beyond a basic narrative structure.

You mentioned below that you have templated FAQ docs, I'm assuming these templates are the approximate structure of the memo? Would you be willing to share? This would be very helpful for my startup when we are planning our strategy.

Sorry for the late reply. The template is more formatting than anything else. The core questions:

1) What is in this doc? What decision do we need to make? 2) Why is this important? 3) Who is the customer for this solution? 4) How have others tried to or solved this and how were their solutions insufficient? 5) How are we planning on solving this? 6) specifics 7) What options have we considered and thrown out? 8) What resources are required? 9) What are the one-way doors in this plan? (meaning: what decisions cannot be undone) 10) Timing?
