  "question_notes": [
    "The least familiar management task identifies where a new manager needs preparation or practical support. Keep uncertainty separate from a performance judgment.",
    "Available help with difficult conversations reveals the support structure behind a new manager's responsibilities. Clarify suitable preparation resources and role boundaries, without asking for private employee cases or assuming advice establishes managerial competence.",
    "Guidance someone would use next week identifies an immediate, practical resource to offer; a stated preference does not establish its effectiveness."

      "question": 2,
      "format": "Optional written explanation",

      "format": "Optional improvement suggestion",
