What documents should a product team create first?▾
Start where your product actually is in its lifecycle. A brand-new idea starts with a Product Discovery Brief, then a Market Research Report and an Opportunity Assessment — the documents that answer "is this problem worth solving?". A product heading into delivery starts with a PRD and User Stories instead. Gensudo's dependency graph handles the ordering for you: each template knows what it needs before it and what it unblocks next.
What is a decision-grade document?▾
A document that a real decision could safely rest on. In practice that means claims traced to sources with inline citations, the reasoning visible rather than implied, scored comparisons where options compete, counter-evidence acknowledged, and honest gaps stated plainly instead of hidden behind placeholders. It's the difference between a document that describes a decision and one that can actually carry it.
Can I create my own templates?▾
Yes. Alongside the 382 built-in templates you can create custom templates with your own sections — each section a heading and a short description of what it should contain — assigned to a role, phase and type. Custom templates can be marked as org-approved standards or internal examples, carry a version, and sit in the same library, where the AI drafts each section just as it does for built-in templates.
Do I need all 382 templates?▾
No — and no team should try to use them all. The library is comprehensive so that whatever your role and phase, the right document exists with guidance attached; the dependency graph then surfaces what's relevant to where you are now. Most projects touch a small fraction of the library at any given time. Breadth is there so you never hit a gap, not so you fill every slot.
How do the documents connect to each other?▾
Through a workflow graph of 2,102 dependency edges across 39 stages, each edge recording what a document needs before it can be written well and what it unblocks next. A Business Case leans on market research; a PRD waits on the decisions of planning; launch checklists draw on everything upstream. On top of that, a project fact store lets later documents reuse facts established in earlier ones, so your figures stay consistent across the set.
Can I use the templates without the AI?▾
Yes. Gensudo’s templates, structured guidance and workspace can all be used without generating AI content. A paid subscription is required, but using the included AI credits is optional. When you do use AI drafting, research or review features, the output remains a suggestion for you to accept, edit or reject - it supports your judgement rather than replacing it.
Are AI-drafted documents trustworthy?▾
They're checkable, which is the honest version of trustworthy. Drafts carry inline citation markers matched to a visible source list; a free trust rail shows readiness as trust times coverage, section by section; and provenance is explicit — every claim traces to your project data, researched sources or AI synthesis. Citations make claims verifiable rather than guaranteeing truth, and no unreviewed AI output is ever treated as final.
