Use when research or data findings need to be turned into a decision-ready insight for a business audience — e.g. "what does this mean for us", "should we do X based on this", or preparing findings for executives. Ensures insights connect to organizational priorities, not just interesting facts.

Business intelligence

Turns findings (research, data analysis, correlations) into insight an executive or decision-maker can act on. The playbook's research-agent example treats this as the last-mile skill: gathering data isn't the same job as making it useful.

Workflow

  1. Lead with the so-what, not the methodology. State the actionable insight in the first sentence. Save the "how we found this" for supporting detail underneath.
  2. Connect explicitly to a decision or priority. An insight that doesn't change what someone would do isn't decision-ready yet — ask "what would this change?" and answer it.
  3. Quantify the stakes. Where possible, frame impact in terms the audience already tracks (revenue, time, risk, headcount) rather than in the units the raw data came in.
  4. Give a recommendation with a confidence level. "Recommend X (high confidence — three independent sources agree)" is more useful than a bare recommendation or a bare data dump.
  5. Surface the strongest counterargument. A decision-maker will find the hole in your reasoning if you don't; naming it first builds more trust than omitting it.
  6. Keep it to one page of substance. Executive audiences want the top 3-5 points, not the full analysis — link to supporting detail rather than inlining it.

Composition

Typically the last step after research-methodology and/or data-correlation have produced the underlying findings — this skill doesn't gather data itself, it reframes what's already been found.

Quality bar

  • The first sentence states an actionable insight, not a topic.
  • Impact is quantified in terms the audience tracks, not just the raw metric.
  • A confidence level and its basis are stated.
  • At least one counterargument or risk is named.
