# PM Artifact Templates

Templates are prompts for judgment, not mandatory ceremony. Delete sections
that do not affect the decision and add domain-specific evidence where risk
requires it.

## Minimum evidence rule

Every artifact must distinguish:

- sourced fact;
- user or operational evidence;
- analytical interpretation;
- estimate;
- assumption;
- unresolved uncertainty.

Every artifact ends with a decision, owner, next evidence, and revisit
condition. A beautifully completed template without those is documentation, not
product management.
