A four-question branching wizard that recommends light, moderate, full, or program-level charter depth based on your project's scope and stakeholder shape.

Decision wizard

Light, moderate, full, or program — pick the charter your project actually needs

The most expensive charter mistake isn't writing too short — it's writing too generic. A 30-page document with generic risk, generic comms, and generic acceptance criteria looks rigorous and provides almost no operational value.

Most teams over-charter or under-charter by reflex — engineers go light, regulated industries go heavy, and the result is mismatched investment in either case. This wizard takes four signals (budget band, external contractor / regulatory presence, stakeholder count, scope shape) and recommends one of four depths.
