Strategic Request Translator

Translate vague requests into workflows.

Clarify the real question, identify the ONE signals, choose a Playbook workflow, define an evidence output, and avoid overclaiming.

01
Clarify the request

Separate the leadership need from the evidence question.

02
Identify signals

Map the request to profile evidence and workflow inputs.

03
Produce an output

Move toward a shortlist, narrative, map, or next action.

Director says

We need to increase visibility.

Manager translates

Visibility for whom: researchers, institution, funders, industry, media, networks, or public audiences?

ONE signals

Profile completeness, validated publications, web presence, distinctions, appointments, outreach activities, competences, collaboration networks.

Output

Visibility readiness map and priority completion actions.

Risk to avoid

Do not reduce visibility to citation impact.

Director says

We need to enter a Danish network.

Manager translates

Who has Denmark-linked experience, collaborators, affiliations, appointments, publications, or recognition?

ONE signals

Affiliation history, country, co-authorship, professional network, appointments, projects, activities, distinctions, web presence.

Output

Network ambassador candidate shortlist.

Risk to avoid

Do not treat the shortlist as an automatic selection. Human review is required.

Director says

We need evidence of public outreach.

Manager translates

Which researchers are active in outreach, where, for whom, and through which channel?

ONE signals

General audience presentations, interviews, exhibitions, demonstrations, school activities, advocacy, media presence, distinctions, appointments.

Output

People-linked outreach evidence narrative.

Risk to avoid

Do not count activities without context, audience, or evidence.

Director says

We need reviewer candidates.

Manager translates

Who is reviewer-ready, available, competent, and has relevant experience?

ONE signals

Peer-review preferences, peer-review experience, panelist roles, editorial roles, fields, competences, affiliation, potential COI signals.

Output

Reviewer-ready pool.

Risk to avoid

ONE supports shortlisting. It must not replace accountable human selection.
