Translate a Piece of Work You Are Proud of Into Evidence for a Future Opportunity

Knowing you have done good work and being able to present it as evidence for a specific opportunity are different skills. The work needs to be framed not by the context it was created in but by the capability it demonstrates, stated in terms that match what the decision-maker is looking for. This translates a specific piece of work into its evidence value, writes a framing statement you can actually use, and tells you what it does not demonstrate so you know what else you need.

I have a piece of work I am proud of: {WORK_DESCRIPTION}. I created it in the context of: {CONTEXT}. A future opportunity I want to use it for: {FUTURE_OPPORTUNITY}.

Translate it into evidence:
1. The evidence it provides: the [three] specific capabilities or qualities this work demonstrates that are relevant to the future opportunity, stated as what a decision-maker would infer from it
2. The framing statement: a [two-sentence] description of this work that leads with the capability demonstrated rather than the context it was produced in
3. The gap it does not close: what the future opportunity requires that this piece of work does not demonstrate, so I know what else to find or create
4. How to present it: the most effective way to introduce this work in a portfolio, application, or conversation, given what the future opportunity is looking for
