Problem

Scenario

You are supporting multiple research efforts at the same time, each with different levels of urgency, uncertainty, and stakeholder visibility. Some work is tied to near-term field needs, while other work is foundational and could unlock larger future impact. You need to decide what to work on first, what to delegate, what to defer, and how to communicate those trade-offs clearly.
