Technical To Business Translator
Quick Start
This skill helps you translate technical analysis into business language.
Context Requirements
Before proceeding, I need:
- Technical content: Key information needed for this analysis
- Stakeholder technical levels: Key information needed for this analysis
- Approved terminology: Key information needed for this analysis
- Forbidden jargon: Key information needed for this analysis
Context Gathering
If any required context is missing from our conversation, I'll ask for it using these prompts:
For Technical content:
"To proceed with technical to business translator, I need to understand technical content.
Please provide:
- [Specific detail 1 about technical content]
- [Specific detail 2 about technical content]
- [Optional context that would help]"
For Stakeholder technical levels:
"To proceed with technical to business translator, I need to understand stakeholder technical levels.
Please provide:
- [Specific detail 1 about stakeholder technical levels]
- [Specific detail 2 about stakeholder technical levels]
- [Optional context that would help]"
For Approved terminology:
"To proceed with technical to business translator, I need to understand approved terminology.
Please provide:
- [Specific detail 1 about approved terminology]
- [Specific detail 2 about approved terminology]
- [Optional context that would help]"
Handling Partial Context
If you can only provide some of the context:
- I'll proceed with what's available and note limitations
- I'll use industry standard defaults where appropriate
- I'll ask clarifying questions as needed during the analysis
Workflow
Step 1: Validate Context
Before starting, I'll confirm:
- All required context is available or has reasonable defaults
- The scope and objectives are clear
- Expected outputs align with your needs
Step 2: Execute Core Analysis
Following best practices for technical to business translator, I'll:
- Initial assessment - Review provided context and data
- Systematic execution - Follow structured methodology
- Quality checks - Validate intermediate results
- Progressive disclosure - Share findings at logical checkpoints
Step 3: Synthesize Findings
I'll present results in a clear, actionable format:
- Key findings prioritized by importance
- Supporting evidence and visualizations
- Recommendations with implementation guidance
- Limitations and assumptions documented
Step 4: Iterate Based on Feedback
After presenting initial findings:
- Address questions and dive deeper where needed
- Refine analysis based on your feedback
- Provide additional context or alternative approaches
Context Validation
Before executing the full workflow, I verify:
- Context is sufficient for meaningful analysis
- No contradictions in provided information
- Scope is well-defined and achievable
- Expected outputs are clear
