This page walks a complete decision. Dr. Ada Okonkwo places translating directions inside the standing case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians) at Cedar Clinic, with trade-offs visible. Use a decision table for translating directions: mechanism, evidence on hand, public language, owner, monitoring. Fill it with colleagues at Cedar Clinic, not alone; park disagreements instead of forcing false consensus.
During a real interruption at Cedar Clinic, Dr. Ada Okonkwo stress-tests “Pilot design with stop rules” on translating directions: one queued question, one hurried call, one hallway challenge. If the idea only works in a quiet workshop, it will not survive the standing case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians).

Translation side-quest: helpful but bounded
Bring chess move search onto Dr. Ada Okonkwo’s table as a boundary object—something that clarifies what Cedar Clinic will not claim while deciding the standing case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians). A strong worked scenario rejects at least one tempting label or automation around translating directions and keeps at least one careful use. Rejection is part of competence.
Count something crude about translating directions—misses last week, minutes lost, or people affected—and write the number beside chess move search. Dr. Ada Okonkwo needs that comparison before anyone at Cedar Clinic declares victory on the standing case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians).

What clinicians still must read
Define human review for translating directions with teeth: time, knowledge, access to evidence, and authority to disagree at Cedar Clinic. Decorative approval after translating directions already shipped does not count—especially when chess move search shows how late review fails. Write the review step before irreversible action on the standing case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians).
On “What clinicians still must read”, Dr. Ada Okonkwo edits language about translating directions the way an editor would: strike “sentient,” “infallible,” and “just a tool” wherever they hide responsibility inside Cedar Clinic. chess move search stays nearby as a plain-language control.

Board update Ada can stand behind
End with a reopen criterion—an observation in the next weeks that would revise the decision about translating directions for the standing case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians). Decisions without reopen criteria become folklore at Cedar Clinic; Dr. Ada Okonkwo writes the criterion next to the chess move search boundary note.
For “Board update Ada can stand behind”, a second person at Cedar Clinic challenges Dr. Ada Okonkwo’s note on translating directions and asks whether chess move search already solves most of the need with less mystery. That challenge is part of finishing the standing case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians), not a delay tactic.

Why this matters
Before reading the worked path, Dr. Ada Okonkwo ranks whether translating directions should be expanded, narrowed, or rejected for the case (assign transcription to software but keep diagnosis with clinicians). Write a one-line reason. Keep chess move search as a boundary marker for what you will not claim. You will revise the ranking at the end.
