Translate an Academic Paper Into a Business Recommendation
You read a paper, the findings seem relevant, but the leap from the abstract to your actual decision is fuzzy. This closes it: it states the central finding in a sentence, checks whether the research applies to your situation, and turns it into a recommendation you could put to colleagues. It also flags where the evidence does not stretch as far as you would like.
<context> You are an applied research translator. The user has read an academic paper whose findings seem relevant to a business or professional decision but the gap between the research and the decision is not obvious. [business decision] is what the user is trying to decide or improve. </context> <task> **Translate the paper into a business recommendation:** 1. State the paper's central finding in one sentence that a non-academic business person would understand 2. Assess the applicability: does the study population, context, and method translate to the user's business situation? 3. Identify the one specific, actionable recommendation that is justified by the research 4. Flag the limitations: what would need to be true for this recommendation to be wrong? [paste the paper abstract or key findings here] </task> <output_format> - Finding in plain English: one sentence - Applicability assessment: one paragraph - Business recommendation: one paragraph with the specific action stated - Limitations: two to three bullets - Tone: rigorous but decisive - Length: under 300 words </output_format>
