Address how to balance centralized research strategy with decentralized team autonomy. Explain how to build research infrastructure and processes that scale. Discuss knowledge management and how to leverage research across the organization.

Discuss ethical trade-offs of centralizing research (for example increased ability to monitor user behavior vs improved cross-team insights). Propose a combined technical and policy mitigation plan that preserves research utility while minimizing privacy and surveillance risks, and describe how you would operationalize ethical review for rapid experiments.

You receive 30 research requests but can complete only 8 studies this quarter. Propose a prioritization framework for triaging requests that includes scoring criteria and thresholds. Then apply it briefly to 3 hypothetical requests: A) urgent revenue-impacting hypothesis, B) long-term UX ethnography, C) small analytics clean-up task.

Design a tagging taxonomy for research artifacts so teams can find relevant experiments, models, and insights. Provide a sample schema with at least 8 tag dimensions (e.g., product-area, metric, platform, method) and explain how you would query for: 'all experiments impacting onboarding metric on mobile in Q2 2025'.
