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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Upload the client’s provided captions file captions_final_v2.srt to the April 12 interview upload, attach it as the official English captions, set it to published, and verify the timing lines up on desktop and mobile. Notify Sarah in accounts when done.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I attach the captions_final_v2.srt to the interview, make it easy for the client to approve: surface any missing timestamp gaps, flag duplicated or overlapped cues, highlight any speaker labels that differ from the description, and confirm the file encoding and locale so QA can skip a full pass.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I tried to upload the client’s SRT and the platform rejected the file format.
I attempted to upload captions_final_v2.srt to the April 12 interview and the upload failed with a format error. The client expects this live today and Sarah will escalate if delayed. What likely caused the rejection (encoding, BOM, line endings, or timestamp formatting) and what is the fastest reliable fix I can apply now so I can reupload and message Sarah with a confident ETA?

Become — change the pattern
+Clients keep sending captions in inconsistent file formats that block publishing.
We keep losing hours converting client caption files because they send mixed encodings, inconsistent timestamp styles, or extra metadata. I want one habit to stop those last‑minute conversions and a simple guideline to give clients so their first SRT upload always works. What do I enforce and what two lines do I send to clients?

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.
