The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I'm leading a cross-border team meeting and need the live English captions translated into Portuguese for Marta in Lisbon and João in Porto before the 11:00 AM start. Turn on live captions, set translation to Portuguese, verify translated captions appear for both speakers during the first five minutes, and tell me if any names or technical terms are mistranslated.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I start the call with the Brazil and UK offices, make translated captions easier to follow for non-native speakers: surface the original English line above the Portuguese translation, keep sentence breaks aligned with speaker pauses, and flag any jargon or acronyms that weren’t translated literally so I can clarify them live.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I enabled translation but participants report weird wording
We just turned translation on and Marta messaged that the Portuguese captions read awkwardly and missed a deadline number. I'm worried this will confuse the client on the call. I can't see the transcript from my side. What's the likely cause and what's the fastest fix that won't delay the meeting start?

Become — change the pattern
+We repeatedly get bad translations in live captions
Across recurring international stand-ups, translated captions often garble numbers, names, and our product terms, forcing us to pause and repeat. Which two habits will stop this recurring interruption: one quick change I must do before every meeting and one process change so the team stops relying on ad hoc corrections?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
